I’ve recently purchased the freehold of the building I live in for £10K which has two flats. I am the leaseholder of my flat. The other leaseholder will be extending her lease soon. Will I be liable for CGT or any other tax on the £5K cost of her extension . Thank you.

depends on lease length and method of "extension", but it is taxable
HS292 Capital Gains Tax, land and leases (2023) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
lots of other guidance via google
Tax and residential lease extensions - Edge Chartered Certified Accountants (edgeaccountants.co.uk)
come back if you can't understand specific points
