Similar properties in Port Talbot with an extended lease are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079

With just 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as 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 a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
