  • Just been over 2 years that I have been in my garden flat in Swanley. I have 60 years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers 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. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
