The market value of a leasehold property in Ladbroke Grove depends on how long the lease has remaining. If it is close to or fewer than eighty years you should foresee difficulties on re-sale, so it is advisable to arrange for a lease extension before buying.

Comparable premises in Ladbroke Grove with a long lease were worth £227,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced quarterly. The lease came to a finish in 2091.
