I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Ashford Kent I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease.

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
