Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
