Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Keswick I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Keswick suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
