I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Downham Market, conveyancing having been completed in 2011. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Downham Market with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2094

With 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I previously told by my mortgage company that their approved conveyancers work on no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in Downham Market. My purchase did not proceed yet the solicitors have requested search fees! They say the fees are nothing to do with their fees!

Downham Market conveyancing search charges are disbursements not solicitors costs as these are paid to a third party.
