Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Tufnell Park I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I own a leasehold flat in Tufnell Park. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Tufnell Park who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

I am just shy of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Tufnell Park , but I am keen proceed. What can I do?
One option is to try and accept a smaller deposit. Many sellers will accept a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
