I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Whimple I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Whimple for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
