I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Tooting Bec I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease.

If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. 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.
