I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Seaton Sluice I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
