It is best to obtain a quote by speaking to a suitably qualified solicitor. Conveyancers don't frequent these forums.

Usually when people extend a lease on a property, they extend for 90 years. So an 89 year lease is ok, although you need to think about the depreciation on a property the less years a lease has to run. Also it gets more expensive to renew the lease if you have less than 80 years left. It is always advisable to look at extending a lease or better still buying the freehold. If you allow the lease to run out on a property, you can stay in the property as a tenant, but the owner of the freehold will then own the property. You want to look in to extending the lease or buying the freehold, this will cost thousands of pounds. You would be looking at around £8000 + to extend a lease if it hasn't dropped below 80 years.
