I am looking at a two maisonettes in Llangammarch Wells both have approximately fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Llangammarch Wells is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises.

One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero.
