Zoopla is as good a guess as any for this kind of thing but that they have no idea what the property or what it's worth themselves when they are acting on behalf of the landlord, doesn't fill me with much confidence.
Have you tried any of the online calculators for the lease extension premium? I found them to be pretty accurate compared to what I ended up paying.
When I first spoke to our freeholders solicitor, I made it clear that I was confident in what the premium should be and a piss take offer would force me to go statutory, which would be painful for them.
If I were you, I would apply in writing with the value you get from zoopla (just don't mention where you got it) the number of bedrooms and something at the lower end of whatever the calculator spits out and say you will be expecting a quote close to that with favourable terms.
