Expecting to exchange soon on a ground floor flat in Adlington. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they are sending me a report next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

I inherited a ground floor flat in Adlington, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Adlington with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091

With just 66 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 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 in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
