Common questions relating to Battlesbridge Lease Extensions

  • I have shares in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of six flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm curious about the procedure for this
  • Last year I purchased a leasehold apartment in Battlesbridge. I have built a big extension and have not informed the leaseholder. What are my options?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Battlesbridge. The lease has only seventy years outstanding and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting 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 vendor? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a one bed flat in Battlesbridge, where the lease is approximately 77 years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the current owner was holding off for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it will take time to sort it all out. What do you think?

  • We wish to extend our lease. We will have been in the place for 2 years as of 6th March 2015. It has slightly more than sixety five years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately twenty years. It now has sixety three years remaining on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my solicitors and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome advice.

  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost excluding value added tax and the HMLR fee? The price has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my maisonette in Battlesbridge
