There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in East Twickenham registration formalities.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in East Twickenham I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease.

If you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
