Brentwood Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Brentwood but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Godiva Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?
  • What will I need to spend and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have around 70 years outstanding on my lease on a one bedroom apartment in Brentwood. I have called the agent who represent the head landlord and they provided me with the number of the valuer. I have contacted the surveyor but I am not getting any calls back.
  • We have a GFF based in Brentwood. There is eighty years to run on the lease and we want a lease extension. What does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say,25 years
  • My fiance and I are considering buying a three bed flat in Brentwood which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease expires, 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 looking for advice as I am interested in a property that has only a seventy four year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Can I call someone to go through my options please?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Brentwood. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1895. Its the garden area.
  • 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?
  • We currently own a maisonette in Brentwood 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 69 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Brentwood 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?
