I found http://99home.co.uk/ to be the cheapest, however I understand they stopped pushing your ad to Rightmove, only Zoopla now. PRS5 coupon code will get you listed for under £80.

The auction lot description does say it's a leasehold under the "Additional Info" tab. If this has been changed last minute I would try to sue the auction, however if it's been that way from the beginning, it's nothing more...
