  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my garden flat in Charing Cross. I have seventy six years left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it.
