Common questions relating to Berkeley Lease Extensions
I am fairly sure that our lawyers has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to find out how to go about making a formal complaint
Hello. I need someone to have a look at my lease extension ahead of it being completed just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a reissue with a few minor variations.
I plan on buying a flat located in Berkeley. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The seller’s lawyers has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. 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 Alliance & Leicester . Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
Last year I purchased a leasehold flat in Berkeley. I have built a big extension and have not informed my leaseholder. What should I do?
I am in need of a lease extension for my flat in Berkeley and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
My conveyancers (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?
Just been over 2 years that I have been in my garden flat in Berkeley. I have seventy years remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 350K, 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: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
Me and my partner are buying a 2 bed flat in Berkeley which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our property lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Berkeley. I reside in the upper flat. I was reviewing the title deeds yesterday when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 61 years unexpired. Can one do a lease extension without instructing a conveyancing practitioners?
I own the freehold reversion of a property in Berkeley where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has recommended a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
