I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Holly Village I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Holly Village suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Am I best advised to appoint a Holly Village conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am buying? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal formalities but her office is a couple of hundredmiles drive away.

They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Holly Village conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
