  • We are in a block consisting of three flats in Amersham and have been offered to buy the freehold for 7k 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 studio flat in Amersham, and would like some figures on that.
  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has sixety eight years balance left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Amersham for asking price of 156k, which has 58 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 landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my studio flat in Amersham
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Amersham. She recently got a price from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am not sure it is too high.
  • I have a lease of 58 years remaining on my flat in Amersham. 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?
