Top Ten Questions relating to Borough Green Lease Extensions

  • I am looking to extend the lease on my 2 bed conversion flat in Borough Green which will have sixety two years unexpired lease in August. What fees do you charge for this?
  • I want to buy a leasehold property and lease extension. The homeowner has been there over 2 years and will sign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • 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 798 years unexpired so a lease extension is not an issue.

We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I have contacted my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Borough Green. Her has been in contact concerning charges etc. I need a ball park figure for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started Septembmer 1990.

  • We are buying a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Borough Green which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • My and my fiance are concerned about obtaining a lease extension from tricky freeholder. Even though the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the landlord still tried to get ground rent of £300 increasing by 100% every 25 years of the new lease. Can you assist?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a maisonette in Borough Green. She already has a figure from the landlord for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too high.
  • We currently own a one bedroom apartment in Borough Green and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home.

Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
