Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Rickmansworth I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rickmansworth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
