  • I'm looking for a flat to buy in Bulwell and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold arrangement. I've identified a three bed flat I like with a 87 years lease. I've read that I can apply for a lease extension after 2 years, but:- Should I be looking at some conditions that would prevent me for getting a lease extension?
  • We have a first floor flat in Bulwell with 73 years unexpired.

Finally we have decided to go ahead but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Bulwell for asking price of 145k, which has 78 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and base the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
  • I am currently in the process of refinancing my ground floor flat in Bulwell and the bank that I am looking to switch to requires at least 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to take the mortgage forward.

  • We currently own a garden flat in Bulwell 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 76 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
