I invested in buying a garden flat in Thatcham, conveyancing having been completed in 2001. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Thatcham with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2101

With only 76 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
