Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in West Smithfield I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in West Smithfield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
