Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Dunvant I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dunvant in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
