I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in St George I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease.

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
