I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Port Clarence I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Port Clarence in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
