I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Chopwell. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Chopwell - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I invested in buying a split level flat in Chopwell, conveyancing was carried out September 2002. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Chopwell with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2079

With only 54 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
