A regular lease extension doesn't deprive the freeholder of ground rent. That's only the case if it's via a section 42 notice.
I was initially quoted £13k for mine with 89 years remaining (not section 42) but a chartered surveyor (£720) seemed to have no problems negotiating that down to £6k. Solicitors fee was £1k.
That chartered surveyor, are they London based? Our lease is down to 90 years so me and oop stairs neighbour going to buy the freehold from rubbish giant housing association
