The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Because on completion the funds needs to pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only happen on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
