Sample questions relating to Brinklow Lease Extensions

  • I am fairly sure that our conveyancers has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to know how to go about making a formal complaint
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years unexpired so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 twenty years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.

  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 59 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the lender will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Brinklow. The lease has just 65 years remaining and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the owner? Unfortunately the freeholder can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have nearon 61 years left on my lease on a three bed flat in Brinklow. I have called the managing agents who act on behalf of the freeholder and they provided me with the number of the surveyor. I have contacted the surveyor but I am not getting any kind of reaction.
  • My fiance and I are purchasing a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Brinklow which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
  • I have a lease of seventy five years remaining on my flat in Brinklow. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
