Where you are concerned you should contact the Glastonbury conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Glastonbury I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Glastonbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
