I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Totton I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Totton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
