I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Ripponden I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ripponden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities 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 lawyer about this matter.
