Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Ellesmere Port I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease.

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
