Blakelaw Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • So this is the scenario: I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Blakelaw that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. Are you willing to help me with this situation ?
  • I own a leasehold flat in the Blakelaw area and was enquiring whether I could obtain a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has sixety seven years unexpired
  • I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Blakelaw. His lawyers has been in contact with charges etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started May 1987.
  • I bought a garden flat in Blakelaw. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is roughly eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Blakelaw, where the lease is around seventy eight years but she was informed by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been informed the current owner was waiting for her to appoint solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • We have a residential flat in Blakelaw with 66 years to run. Last year we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for another thirty years but also increase ground rent from notional to £200 per annum..plus a premium I think of approximately 9k. We have now decided to go ahead but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • My OH and I are considering purchasing a one bed flat in Blakelaw which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from extending the lease?
  • I am planning to get a lease extension and am wondering which step I have to do first, I have been previously told that I have to have the finances in place before I set the ball rolling, is this correct?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Blakelaw 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?
  • We wanted an estimate on the cost of a lease extension and a few more questions answered regarding a lease extension for my ground floor flat in Blakelaw
