I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Market Rasen I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
