I would be interested to know just how much of a problem this is becoming and is it really worth spending a significant amount of money to achieve a zero ground rent? How many lenders would refuse a mortgage on a flat based on this? I am worried that if I don’t zero the ground rent my flat will only be attractive to cash buyers in the future and the price that I can achieve will be less. Also, all new-build flats since last summer now come with zero ground rent, as a result of legislation change on new-build leasehold flats.
