I'm purchasing my first flat in Toton with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
