If you are instructing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Dunmow conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with two or three firms including non Dunmow conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in Dunmow who can give a testimonial? How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?

The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2104

You have 79 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues 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.
