Comparable flats in Battlesbridge with an extended lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2096

With only 70 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

  • Carry on with your existing Battlesbridge conveyancing practitioner but Halifax will need to instruct a conveyancer from their approved list. This will result in additional charges together with probable delay.
  • Get a new conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your conveyancer to do everything within their powers to join the Halifax conveyancing panel.
