What are the costs for lease extension work?
I invested in buying a split level flat in Keynsham, conveyancing formalities finalised 5 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Keynsham with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2083
With only 59 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £20,900 and £24,200 plus costs.

There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
