An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Glossop to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?
