Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Sunningdale I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Sunningdale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
