Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Gnosall I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease.

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
