Equivalent properties in Holbrook with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2091

With only 66 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 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 the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
