I have called my Stamford Bridge building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend.

The lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank.

We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Stamford Bridge I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stamford Bridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
