Benson Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • My fiance and I are looking for lease extension for our flat in Benson and we are confused by the letter that we got from our landlord company. How long will it take?
  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold title. My downstairs neighbours have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Benson, and my lease will reach seventy two years this March. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the Tribunal court?
  • My husband and I have a first floor flat in Benson with seventy five years to run. Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for another fifty years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of about 9k. Finally we have decided to go ahead but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • We are looking to extend our lease having owned the place for two years as of 6th April 2015. It has nearly 66 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by way of an additional 90 years as quickly and stress free as possible.
  • 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 extending the lease?
  • I'm intent on buying an apartment in Benson valued at £210,000 the flat has approximately 72 years remaining on the lease. My offer was subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd have completed by Christmas. They have just come back saying they are willing to knock £5k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much does it cost for a lease extension on a residential property in Benson for a one bed flat - section 42 is already in place?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Benson where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. 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 incur?
  • We currently own a maisonette in Benson and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy eight years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
