The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2083
You have 58 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £22,800 and £26,400 plus 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. 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 taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.

Me and my wife have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of lawyers then we will have to pay out a further fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to make use of our search tool and we should be able to find you a property lawyer in Hemsworth on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
