Lease Extensions in Camberley

Frequently asked questions relating to Camberley Lease Extensions

So this is the scenario: I own a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Camberley that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease needing a lease extension. Are you willing to help me with this situation ?

I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of six flats each. 2 of the leasehold owners want to extend their leases and I'm enquiring about the the process

We are proceeding with buying a studio flat in Camberley. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (66 years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The homeowner apparently has a quote but no money to extend as a result the flat owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?

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?

Me and my partner have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our garden flat in Camberley. We have a fivety nine year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has given us with a premium amount that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on our behalf.

It says on your website the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Camberley

We are purchasing a garden flat in Camberley 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 seller 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 a "priority 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 lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?

My wife and I are worried about obtaining a lease extension from a difficult freeholder. Even though the correct procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the freeholder still attempted to charge ground rent of £300 doubling every twenty years of the new lease. Can you help?

I have a lease of 54 years remaining on my flat in Camberley. 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?

I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom apartment in Camberley. 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?
