Sample questions relating to Burwell Lease Extensions

  • I bought a flat in Burwell with a leasehold unexpired nearly 60 years and need a lease extension. Please can you clarify the next steps
  • Do you only advise on lease extensions in Burwell? I own a flat in Abbey Wood with 90 years unexpired lease, I am looking for a quote from a lawyers.
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Burwell. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The current 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 Santander. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I have a leasehold flat in Burwell. I have built a large extension and have not informed my freeholder. What are my options?
  • I'm looking for a flat to purchase in Burwell and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold arrangement. I've identified a maisonette I like with a 91 years lease. My research reveals that I can apply for a lease extension after 2 years, but:- Is this a given?
  • I will soon view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal 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 78 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • My mortgage provider is requesting several hundred pounds for their conveyancers for a "deed of substituted security" for the lease extension for my flat in Burwell... I am unable to find any reference of this in my mortgage guide... is this a standard fee to pay?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Burwell for asking price of 125k, which has 70 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My query is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • If a leaseholder 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'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Burwell. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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?
