Currently in the process of purchasing freehold on my flat. I wouldn't recommend the surveyor we used (in north london) but I would recommend the solicitor we are using (and was recommended to me on here), thou he's not in North London.
I was recommended Mari Knowles by @BleakRefs but she was unavailable so passed me onto Matt Hollamby, who's been super helpful and very prompt. https://www.commonholdandleaseholdexperts.co.uk/experts
Is the loft included in your lease demise? If not, the development value could add alot to the freehold purchase even if the ground rent is 0.

It is not... it's just listed as communal joists and roof. Both the upstairs and downstairs flats would have an easier path to extension but neither of us plan to right now.

So... anyone recommend a solicitor and surveyor in North London for purchasing freehold?
My house costs are going to wipe me out... but it's all good, all that will be done in the next 6 months will buy 20-30 years of peace of mind.
