I bought a 2 bed flat in Ketton, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Ketton with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2081

With only 55 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.

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 comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
