I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Upper Holloway I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
