There is not much else in Paulton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you.
