I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Frampton on Severn I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease.

You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
