With just 64 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £14,300 and £16,400 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings.
