I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Holborn I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Holborn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
