Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Cheddleton. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Cheddleton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Cheddleton, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Cheddleton with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2084

With only 59 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
