  • Just been over 2 years that I have been in my two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Boston. I have 71 years left on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to the tribunal etc)?
  • It says on your website the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my ground floor flat in Boston
  • We are in the throws of buying a home (a studio flat located inBoston with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum 84 years remaining. We found a flat we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our property lawyers advised us the lease only has seventy five years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
