I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Dawlish I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dawlish suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
