I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender The Mortgage Works. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

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?
