Planning on purchasing a flat in Penrhyn Bay. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Penrhyn Bay I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Penrhyn Bay in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
