The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in St Margarets I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Margarets in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you.
