Questions and Answers: Aintree Lease Extensions

  • I need to extend my current lease can you help me with that? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has seventy six years unexpired
  • My co-lessees and I are in a building containing four flats in Aintree and have been offered to buy the freehold for £3,500 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my garden flat in Aintree, and would like some figures on that.
  • I will soon view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety five years balance left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Aintree. The lease has only seventy three years left and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the homeowner 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 2 year qualifying 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 vendor? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Aintree for asking price of 145k, which has 56 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Dublin but the property in question is based in Aintree. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost including vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bedroom apartment in Aintree
  • My OH and I are buying a garden flat in Aintree which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • I'm seeking some advice concerning a lease extension on my flat. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we must move 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. You are able to recommend a good lawyers who specialises in lease extensions. Preferably nearby in Aintree?
