If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Mortgage instructions to solicitors from all CML members state that If the seller is not legally represented the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be informed so that a decision can be made as to whether they are prepared to proceed.
