I plan to simultaneously refinance with Nationwide Building Society to release of equity. The adviser dealing with the remortgage suggested I get two estimates : one for the lease extension and one for outright purchase .The lease started in 1979 and since then the ground rent has been raised from £15.00 per annum to £125 per annum.
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Barrowden. The lease has just 54 years left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite 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 consuming to the owner? Unfortunately the freeholder can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four flats in the building. All the leaseholders are now requiring lease extensions. Are you willing to assist us with this situation?
  • Me and my fiance are considering purchasing a one bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Barrowden which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and block me from extending the lease?
  • We would like to extend our lease having owned the flat for 2 years as of 13th May 2016. It has approximately 62 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My solicitors (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?
  • We are acquiring a one bedroom apartment in Barrowden which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers 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 until the new lease is registered?
  • My mum is concerned about obtaining a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the landlord still attempted to get ground rent of £300 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new lease. Can you assist?
