I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Hayle both have in the region of forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

There are plenty of short leases in Hayle. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease.
