I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Much Wenlock I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Much Wenlock in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
