Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
