You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Lewes and elsewhere in East Sussex is an adversarial process.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Lewes I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lewes suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
