I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Lancashire I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lancashire in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

My folks cant seem to find their Lancashire property on the HMLR website. They recall that back in the 70’s when they purchased the bungalow there were complications concerning the address not being recognised in some systems.
The vast majority of premises in Lancashire should show up. Have you attempted a search to simply the postcode. Usually it should reveal all the premises inside that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought sixty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title papers which might be with your parent’s bank.
