Examples of recent questions relating to Lease Extensions in Badminton

  • I’m just looking for a garden flat to buy in the Badminton area and was interested in finding out how much would it cost for a lease extension? It has seventy seven years residual lease term...
  • 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?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a block containing four flats in Badminton and have been offered to buy the freehold for 8k 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?
  • In 2012 I purchased a leasehold apartment in Badminton. I have built a huge extension and have not informed my leaseholder. What should I do?
  • We wish to extend our lease having owned the flat for 2 years as of 6th April 2015. It has circa 61 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Badminton. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1895. Its the rear garden.
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Badminton and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
  • My and my fiance know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you recommend such a course of action?
  • I require an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a one bedroom apartment in Badminton. She recently got a figure from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too high.
