Frequently asked questions relating to Blackwood Lease Extensions
I think our property lawyers has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to know how to complain
We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years outstanding so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
I am looking to buy a garden flat in Blackwood with a lease of 65 years but not sure what I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my GFF in Blackwood, and would like some figures on that.
I am considering acquiring an auction property and found a studio flat in Blackwood. It has just 48 year lease..the seller as mortgagees in possession will not want the aggravation of applying for a lease extension..what are the drawbacks of this except for the expensive fee to extend the lease and reduced chance of obtaining a mortgage with Barnsley Building Society?
We are looking to extend our lease. We will have been in the place for 2 years as of 22nd Jan 2015. It has slightly more than fivety five years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
My property 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?
We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately eighteen years. There are 69 years remaining on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my property lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
I note that your website states the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost excluding vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Blackwood
I have a lease of 60 years remaining on my flat in Blackwood. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
