I am attracted to a two apartments in Ruthin both have in the region of 50 years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

There are plenty of short leases in Ruthin. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame.

We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
