I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Pontllanfraith I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pontllanfraith for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
