I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Berkeley I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Berkeley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
