ESC D39 does not apply, you did not dispose of a lease.
The CG calculation will be under the part-disposal rules: from the proceeds you received, deduct the following fraction of your cost of the lease plus freehold:-
proceeds / proceeds + market value of the remainder (=your own lease plus ½ freehold)
If the proceeds were no more than £20,000 and no more than one-fifth of the market value of the total holding and you did not make any other CG disposals, you could claim relief under TCGA 1992 s.242. Text available on the web.
