We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Nottingham Building Society giving us the mortgage now?

I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to the tribunal etc)?
