  • Offer accepted on a a one bedroom apartment in Abbots Langley, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer come through which states the lease as 82 years.We are soon to exchange contracts within a week. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?

  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Abbots Langley where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom apartment in Abbots Langley. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions?
