  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Acklam. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The current owner’s conveyancers has served the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Bank of Ireland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Acklam. The lease has just 70 years remaining and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the owner? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We have a leasehold flat in Acklam with 73 years to run. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for a further 25 years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of approximately 10k. Finally we have decided to go ahead but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Acklam and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy eight years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
