Frequently asked questions relating to Burntwood Lease Extensions

  • I bought a property in Burntwood and it has slightly less than 59 years residual lease term. I'd like to extend the lease period
  • I own a leasehold flat in the Burntwood area and was enquiring whether I could obtain a lease extension. What are your processes and fees. Has 66 years outstanding
  • I will soon view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 68 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have about seventy years unexpired lease on my lease on a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Burntwood. I have contacted the managing agents who act on behalf of the freeholder and they gave me the number for the valuer. I left a phone message for the valuer but I am not receiving any kind of answer.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a studio flat in Burntwood, where the lease is nearon fivety five years but she was advised by the selling agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the owner was waiting for her to appoint solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • We are considering purchasing a garden flat in Burntwood which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease expires, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • I am worried about obtaining a lease extension from an objectionable landlord. Notwithstanding that the legal procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still tried to get ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every twenty five years of the new term. Can you assist?
  • My and my partner know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
