I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Newton Heath I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newton Heath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
