We have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. It now has 69 years left on the lease.

Coming up to two years that I have been in my one bedroom apartment in Sydenham. I have 59 years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend.

We currently own a maisonette in Sydenham and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has sixety five years left.

Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?

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