I think this depends how the freehold is distributed among the other flats. I'd have thought that if the freehold is owned a third each then two freeholders could potentially outvote teh other one and decide to charge a premium for lease extension. If the freehold is held in trust this view may be more understandable as a trust is unlikely to be a dick for no reason, but I don't think it's reasonable to say that mortgage companies won't care about a short/expired lease. Is it worth having a chat to Lease about it? It feels complex enough that that would be justified.
