If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Countesthorpe. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments? Please note that where the lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the flat.
