Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Whitnash I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Whitnash suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
