Top Ten Questions relating to Burton Latimer Lease Extensions

  • So this is the scenario: I inherited a maisonette in Burton Latimer that I now cannot sell as a result of the lease needing a lease extension. How long will it take ?
  • I have got a leasehold flat in the Burton Latimer area and was wondering whether I could get a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has sixety four years residual lease term
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not required. 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 25 years without owning the property. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Burton Latimer are 99 years from 1 Sep 1989. Can you give me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more information please?
  • I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Burton Latimer. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is just over 80 years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • We bought a leasehold with a freeholder who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Burton Latimer and are therefore thinking about the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?
  • My nephew has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Burton Latimer. House converted into three apartments. He has a lease, which has about 64 yrs unexpired lease. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • We are purchasing a one bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Burton Latimer which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer 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 conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I'm hoping for some assistance with regard to extending the lease on my maisonette. The intention is to do this sometime next year as we need to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • We have a maisonette in Burton Latimer with a lease of seventy years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
