ground rents and lease extensions are a matter of consumer protection and changes to the law are long overdue. I have not seen a new leasehold property sold at below full value to reflect the ground rent liability but I have seen lease extensions that cost a multiple of the original sale price of a flat when less than half the term has passed.
more people will live in leasehold flats in the future and a failure to act now will create a growing problem for the future.
