I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Dereham I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dereham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
