I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Salisbury I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Salisbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
