Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Brixton I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brixton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. 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 speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
