I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in South Shields I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in South Shields for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign 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 lawyer regarding this matter.
