I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of flats in Calne both have about forty five years remaining on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Calne. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
