I made the following corrections: 1. Corrected "extimated" to "estimated". 2. Corrected "vigt" to "viz." (though it seems like it should be "viz" or another word, "vigt" is not a standard abbreviation, and "viz" is a common abbreviation for "videlicet" or "namely"). 3. Corrected "£94.000" to "£94,000" and "£42.500" to "£42,500". 4. Reorganized some of the text to form coherent paragraphs. 5. Added or removed spaces to improve readability. 6.
