I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive.

I bought a basement flat in Bewdley, conveyancing having been completed 6 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Bewdley with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2085
You have 59 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,900 and £24,200 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Bewdley.Conveyancing has not commenced but I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance charges should be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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
