This morning our conveyancers informed us the lease only has 74 years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Bishops Cleeve as it is coming up to the 80 year mark.

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?
