Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Bishops Castle I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease.

If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
