The majority of houses in Guisborough are freehold and not leasehold.

The lease will likely included provisions such as requiring the landlord’sconsent to carry out alterations.

I inherited a 1st floor flat in Guisborough, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Guisborough with a long lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2084

With only 58 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £22,800 and £26,400 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
