I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Westbury Park I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Westbury Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
