I acquired a leasehold flat in Lunt, conveyancing was carried out in 2006. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Lunt with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2094

With 69 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 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 are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations.

There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
