I own a leasehold flat in Sandwich. I have built a huge extension and have not informed my leaseholder. What should I do?

I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Sandwich. The lease has only 76 years left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the vendor? Unfortunately the freeholder can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.

I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Sandwich 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?
