I acquired a ground floor flat in Calstock, conveyancing was carried out 6 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Calstock with a long lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2091
