Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in North Kensington I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in North Kensington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

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