I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Kent I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Kent for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
