  • We have a ground floor flat in Barton Upon Humber with 64 years to run. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for another fifty years but also increase ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of approximately 10k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?

  • My husband and I are hoping to buy a flat (a ground floor flat located inBarton Upon Humber with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 84 years balance left. We identified a place we liked and the estate agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our informed us the lease only has fivety eight years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we reduce our offer?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Barton Upon Humber 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?
