I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Adderbury I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Adderbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
