Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Moston I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Moston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Moston conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
