I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in South Ruislip I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in South Ruislip in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. On the whole a specialist would be useful to try and locate and to produce an expert document to be used as proof that the landlord can not be located.
