I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in South Petherton I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in South Petherton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan 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 current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
