I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Llantwit Major I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llantwit Major suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
