Caergwrle Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • We are looking for lease extension for our two bed flat located in Caergwrle and we don't fully understand the communication that we got from our freehold company. How long will it take?
  • My name´s Muhammad. I’m property hunting in Caergwrle I'm thinking about offering on a garden flat online, with around seventy two years left, how much does it cost on average to extend in this location by, say, ninety years?
  • I have shares in the freehold of buildings comprising of 8 flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm enquiring about the the process
  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Caergwrle but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Britannia giving us the mortgage now?
  • My neighbours and I are in a block consisting of three flats in Caergwrle and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?

  • My (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 intent on buying a flat in Caergwrle at a price of £210,000 the flat has something like 65 years left on the lease. I put in an offer subject to the lease being extended... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd be in before now. They have just informed me they'll knock £5k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
  • We are buying a studio flat in Caergwrle which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The concern 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 right that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
