Alresford Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I’m seeking a lease extension for our garden flat located in Alresford and we don't fully understand the communication that we got from our freehold company. What's your legal fee?
  • Hi, I am looking somewhere around or in Alresford 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the right site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Alresford. The lease commenced in 1998 for 99 years. Now I am wanting for a lease extension. I am unclear about additional expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • I'm considering purchasing a ground floor flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for nearly 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to acquire the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for right to manage?
  • I bought a two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Alresford. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is around 80 years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • We are proceeding with buying a three bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Alresford. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (79 years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend as a result the current owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my conveyancers failed to spot this far earlier than just before exchange?
  • I am the owner of a purpose-built apartment based in a small block in Alresford. The leasehold interest in the flat on a 101 year lease started from 2nd January 1972 with a set yearly rent of 20. I wish to obtain a lease extension. Can I call someone to go through my options please?
  • I am concerned about obtaining a lease extension from tricky landlord. Even though the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to get ground rent of £250 doubling every twenty years of the new term. Can you help?
  • I have a lease of fivety five years remaining on my flat in Alresford. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
