If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions most will be content to do so. They may levy a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation.
