  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Westbourne as it is coming up to the 80 year mark.

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?
