It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything.

Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
