We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Great Yarmouth 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?
