Barlaston Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • I am looking for lease extension for our leasehold house in Barlaston and we are confused by the letter that we got from our landlord company. What's your legal fee?
  • Hello. I need a conveyancing practitioners to review my lease extension ahead of it being completed just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor amendments.
  • 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 going to purchase a flat in Barlaston. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The owner’s conveyancing practitioners has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Clydesdale. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I have a leasehold apartment in Barlaston. I have built a large extension and have not informed the freeholder. What are my options?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Barlaston. The lease has just seventy two years balance left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two 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 legal but will it be very time costly to the vendor? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My partner and I have a ground floor flat in Barlaston with seventy four years unexpired. Last year we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for a further 25 years but also increase ground rent from nominal to £300 per year..plus a premium I think of approximately 9k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • I'm intent on buying a flat in Barlaston valued at £256,000 the flat has something like 61 years left on the lease. My offer was subject to the lease being renewed... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd be in by Christmas. The seller has just come back saying they are willing to reduce the price by£7k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • We are hoping to acquire a property (a garden flat inBarlaston with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum ninety years outstanding. We found a place we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancers advised us the lease only has 66 years and thus requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Barlaston as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
