The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

With 67 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as costs.

You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
