  • I own a leasehold flat in the Brixton area and was enquiring whether I could obtain a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. There are 56 years left
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years balance left so a lease extension is not a concern. 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 the house being ours. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
  • I am the registered owner of a maisonette located in Brixton with a leasehold unexpired of 64 years. I am enquiring about what it will cost me to extend my lease term
  • Is it possible to talk with you about a flat in Brixton, I am thinking of buying at auction next week. The flat only has a few years remaining and I was wondering about what it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • I will soon view a one bedroom apartment, although not exactly my dream 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 69 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. What's your solicitors fee?
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bedroom apartment in Brixton
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest this course of action?
