  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Bures, and my lease will reach 55 years this April. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain an appraisal? Also, do you represent your clients at the LVT court?

  • My OH and I are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Bures. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (59 years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The vendor apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the seller wishes to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • I am looking for advice as I am interested in a property that has only a seventy one year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to go through my options please?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • I'm looking at buying a flat in Bures valued at £256,000 the flat has approximately 75 years unexpired on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in September, hoping I'd have completed by Christmas. They have just informed me that they are prepared to knock £4k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much are the legal fees for a lease extension on a residential property in Bures for a three bed flat - section 42 having been issued?
  • My aunt is aware that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend such a course of action?
