  • My husband and I are proceeding with buying a one bedroom apartment in Carshalton. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (74 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The homeowner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the flat owner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. 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?
  • Just been over 2 years that I have been in my studio flat in Carshalton. I have 54 yrs left on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension.

  • I'm looking at acquiring an apartment in Carshalton valued at £256,000 the flat has just under sixety two years left on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon the lease being extended... .. that was back in November, hoping I'd be in by Christmas.

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Carshalton as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
