I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Rhayader I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rhayader suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
