Bilston Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I have shares in the freehold of buildings comprising of seven flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want to extend their leases and I'm wondering about the procedure for this
  • Hi. I need someone to have a look at my lease extension ahead of it being signed just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor variations.
  • I'm planning on buying a 2 bed flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for approximately 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to buy the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Bilston are 95 years from 15 Dec 1988. Please give me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more information please?
  • I am in need of a lease extension for my flat in Bilston and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Bilston for asking price of 145k, which has 63 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My query is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • My lawyers (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?
  • My partner and I have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. It now has sixety five years left on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my conveyancers 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 appreciate advice.
  • My partner and I would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Bilston. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Edinburgh but the property in question is based in Bilston. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
