I recently bought a 1000:1 hv divider probe for my multimeter which is
guaranteed to work to 40 KV . Input impedance = 1000meg, spec'd as 5%
accuracy into a 10 meg multimeter or other measuring device. This cost
me only about $200 so this could be a good option to consider . Made by
fluke and M/a com (2 options - fluke is more expensive)
