It can vary wildly. We extended ours and only had to pay our legal fees and those of the management committee, so very inexpensive. Others I know elsewhere have had to pay 10s of thousands in various fees to extend. You would need to take advice. Have others in the block extended theirs? Could you ask them?

It varies a lot.
