I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Ashford I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ashford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
