Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Wick I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wick for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
