I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Pickering I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Pickering in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
