Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Burry Port I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Burry Port suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
