Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Stourport On Severn I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Stourport On Severn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold flat in Stourport On Severn. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage are in place.
