Barkingside Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • We are thinking about a lease extension for our garden flat based in Barkingside and we are confused by the communication that we received from our freehold company. Are you willing to help us with this situation?
  • Hello, I am looking somewhere around or in Barkingside 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the correct site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years outstanding so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
  • I am the owner of a maisonnette together with the freehold. My upstairs neighbours have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I'm deliberating over buying a garden flat (leasehold) but the freeholder has been missing for about 15yrs. My query is would it be less expensive to try to acquire the reversionary title or to extend lease and apply for RTM?
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Barkingside are 101 years from 1 Sep 1989. Please give me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more information please?
  • I need to talk to you about a flat in Barkingside, I am considering buying at auction in the next few days. The flat has a short lease and I wanted to inquire about what it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • 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 Glasgow but the flat in question is based in Barkingside. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • Me and my OH are acquiring a maisonette in Barkingside which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our 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 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 be patient until the new lease is registered?
