I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Newburn I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newburn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. 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 then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Newburn conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
