Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for hinderance in Penrith house deals. Is that correct?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Penrith I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Penrith suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on a terraced house in Penrith I wish to talk to a lawyer about mytransaction ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor due to be carrying out your conveyancing in Penrith.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Penrith should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
I today found out that one of the partners of the firm acting on the purchase conveyancing in Penrith is is the mother of the seller. Is this acceptable?
On the basis that no conflict arises this is permitted. Where you are needing mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many lenders have specific requirements on this. For example for Yorkshire Building Society as of 14/5/2022, the requirements read as follows :
* there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction
* the firm is a partnership
* the conveyancer acting is not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family
