Barry Island Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • Hi, I am looking somewhere around or in Barry Island 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the right site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • I am looking at investing in a holiday home but it has a lease that expires in twenty years. Its in Barry Island - I wanted to see if with your services it is possible for this to be extended?
  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Barry Island. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The seller’s solicitors 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 Barnsley Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • The intention is to sell our garden flat in Barry Island but we may need a lease extension, or at least cover the expense of our buyers. Can you help me find a solicitors to assist?
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Barry Island, where the lease is circa sixety four years but she was advised by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the seller was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it may take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • My husband and I have a GFF located in Barry Island. There is eighty years left on the lease and we want a lease extension. How much does it cost on average to extend in this area by, say,25 years
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Barry Island for asking price of 125k, which has 72 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Just been over two years that I have owned my garden flat in Barry Island. I have sixety four years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to LVT)?
  • I am currently in the process of remortgaging my one bed flat in Barry Island and the mortgage company that I am looking to switch to needs at least 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. We currently have around seventy two years on the leasehold so require some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Barry Island 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?
