I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Grasmere. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Grasmere - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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 basement flat in Grasmere, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2005. 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? Equivalent flats in Grasmere with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2102

With only 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be 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 getting professional advice.

In many cases there is a residents association that owners make annual payments for the upkeep of the road. Where one exists, the road should be maintained and look nicer than council owned.
