The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Chelsfield I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chelsfield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
