Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Ormesby with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2082

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

There is a distinct advantage in using a lawyer local to the premises you are hoping to purchase, due to the knowledge of the region and potential local concerns - but this is moot. Most conveyancers are now through email and may be practically anywhere.
