Blackwood Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of six flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm wondering about the procedure for this
  • I invested in buying a property in Blackwood and it has around 55 years residual lease term. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • Hello. I need a to have a look at my lease extension before it's formalised just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor changes.
  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold. The owners of the upstairs flat have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Blackwood, and would like some figures on that.
  • I have a leasehold apartment in Blackwood. I have built a large extension and have not informed the freeholder. What are my options?
  • We are looking to extend our lease having owned the flat for two years as of 1st Feb 2016. It has roughly 55 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Blackwood. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1895. Its the garden area.
  • We currently own a studio flat in Blackwood 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 67 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Blackwood as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
