I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in East Finchley I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in East Finchley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
