I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Treorchy I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Treorchy for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

We own a leasehold flat in Treorchy. Conveyancing was finished in 21012. I have read on various consumer forums that I should not let the lease length get too low. What is the reasoning?
Treorchy residential long term leases are for a fixed term - normally just under one hundred years when they started. However many appartments in Treorchy were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so these leases now have less than 80 years remaining. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing seventy five years. To optimize your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
