I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Wootton Bassett, conveyancing having been completed September 2011. 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? Similar flats in Wootton Bassett with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2100

You have 75 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence.

As a tenant I am liable for a maintenance fee for my flat in Wootton Bassett. As a result of personal circumstances I fell into arrears with payments. The management company agreed a clearance plan but there is still a couple of outstanding as of today.

I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am concerned this could threaten to derail the sale if I have to settle the amount due now. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?

You should clarify with the conveyancing practitioner dealing with your Wootton Bassett conveyancing but it might be possible to agree for the debt to be transferred to the purchasers. The final price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the outstanding monies following completion of the purchase.
