  • Been quoted thirteen large (plus another k for 'admin costs') for extending a lease with 87 years remaining. Rather more spendy than I was expecting.

    On the plus side, it's an additional 125 years and ground rent 'to remain the same'. That's £250 until 2030, when it goes up to £350 and another £100 every 25 years. Seems pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

    Found at least one surveyor who offers advice with no cost or obligation, guess I should give em a call.

  • Most are 8-12k so the quote is close to the maximum, albeit on the wrong side.

    Attempting to negotiate is obviously gonna cost me, so I have to try and find out if the potential saving will be worth it.
