There is not much else in Sydenham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
