Frequently asked questions relating to Angmering Lease Extensions

  • I’m seeking a lease extension for our garden flat based in Angmering and we are confused by the letter that we got from our freehold company. How long will it take?
  • My partner has an apartment located in Angmering which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has about 77 years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am interested in more information on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • 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 purchased a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Angmering. The lease started in 1997 for 99 years. Now I am wanting for a lease extension. I am in the dark about additional expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • We are the registered owners of a leasehold with a landlord who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Angmering and are therefore thinking about the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can handle for us?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Angmering. The lease has just 79 years left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process 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? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We are considering buying a maisonette in Angmering which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from extending the lease?
  • 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?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Dublin but the flat in question is based in Angmering. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
