Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Warkworth is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I bought a 2 bed flat in Warkworth, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Warkworth with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2088

With 64 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is 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 issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
