Sample questions relating to Burwell Lease Extensions

  • We agreed with the head landlord for a lease extension on our flat based in Burwell, 8k for an additional 90yrs. How long is the process ?
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Burwell. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The flat owner’s conveyancing practitioners has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Bank of Scotland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • We acquired a leasehold with a landlord who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Burwell and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?
  • I am considering whether to purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Burwell and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £3k to extend the lease.

  • We are purchasing a ground floor flat in Burwell which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • We are worried about obtaining a lease extension from tricky landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the landlord still attempted to get ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new lease. Can you help?

  • I have a lease of fivety four years remaining on my flat in Burwell. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
