I am about to view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has sixety one years residual lease term on the lease.

Is this advisable?
I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Canterbury as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
