I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Hulme I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
