I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Heaviley and Offerton I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease.

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
