Common questions relating to Barnard Castle Lease Extensions

  • My co-lessees and I are in a building made up four flats in Barnard Castle 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'm looking for a flat to purchase in Barnard Castle and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold tenure. I've found a garden flat I like with a 90 years lease.

  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have slightly more than seventy eight years unexpired lease on my lease on a studio flat in Barnard Castle.

  • Me and my sister are buying a ground floor flat in Barnard Castle which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern 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 property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to be patient pending registration of the new lease?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Barnard Castle and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has recommended a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • I'm hoping for some help with regard to a lease extension on my apartment. The plan is to do this next autumn as we need to move then.
