Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Dalton in Furness I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease.

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
