My mistake , with 70 years unexpired remainig on the lease, the new one should come to 70 + 9 = 160 years for a statutory 90 years lease extension at peppercorn ground rent.

Paul 2015,

Ref your question in 1st post, the "deed of covenant" should be prepared by seller's conveyancing solicitor and offered to the buyer's conveyancing solicitor for signing by the "next leaseholder"

I presume the existing lease started 1989 for 99 years and the term is now down to 80 years remaining .

Since you are spending before the letting business has started, I think most of your refurbishment cost will be considered captal expenditure.

I suggest that next year, you seek assistance from accountant when you prepare your tax return.
