Common questions relating to Brierley Hill Lease Extensions

  • I bought a flat in Brierley Hill with a leasehold unexpired nearly 54 years and need a lease extension. Please can you clarify the next stages
  • I am interested in getting a lease extension for a flat in Brierley Hill and want to use a local . Are you able to help me find a ?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a three bed flat in Brierley Hill, where the lease is around 77 years but she was told by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the vendor was waiting for her to instruct lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in Brierley Hill, and the tenants are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I should hopefully get the money next month. How does the tax work, the property is in joint names with my partner ?
  • Me and my fiance had entered into a purchase of a ground floor flat in Brierley Hill. I was assured that the lease had been extended (seventy years left prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The owner supposedly has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the vendor wishes to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • I own 60% in a shared ownership property with a housing association and I am considering a lease extension on a lease which is now around 66 years. I need a at my end. Can you advise please? I live near Brierley Hill and have a mortgage with Barclays Direct.
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Glasgow but the property in question is based in Brierley Hill. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • We know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal survey and base the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
  • I require an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Brierley Hill. She recently got a price from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too high.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Brierley Hill 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?
