Mortgage Companies on the whole imposes restrictions either the category or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners.

Be aware that The Royal Bank of Scotland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of The Royal Bank of Scotland Conveyancer Panel.

Equivalent properties in Isle of Sheppey with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2099

You have 75 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence.
