FAQs concerning Bramford Lease Extensions

  • My partner has an apartment located in Bramford which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has approximately seventy years remaining on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and lease extension. The vendor has been there for three 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 interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years balance left so a lease extension is not a worry. 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
  • I own a maisonnette together with the freehold of both flats. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Bramford, and my lease will reach 69 years this April. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the LVT court?
  • I plan on buying a flat in Bramford. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The homeowner’s lawyers has served the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Clydesdale. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are five flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. What are the timescales to grant a lease extension?
  • Me and my sister are considering purchasing a three bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Bramford which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • I'm living at mother and father but have a garden flat in Bramford let out which has a 70 year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Bramford for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 13k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
