So this is the scenario: I acquired a garden flat in Baschurch that I now cannot sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your solicitors fee ?

We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years remaining so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Baschurch as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
