I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Sudbury I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease.

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you.
