For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing.

With just 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
