You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Cranleigh, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Cranleigh with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2095

With 69 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
