Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Marple I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Marple suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
