I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Newton Aycliffe I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.
