I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Pevensey Bay I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pevensey Bay for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
