Frequently asked questions relating to Castleford Lease Extensions

  • I purchased a three bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Castleford that I am now unable to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. Are you able to help me with this situation ?
  • I bought a flat in Castleford with a leasehold unexpired nearly 73 years and need a lease extension. Please can you advise me of the next stages
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Castleford but I'm concerned 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 Godiva Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?
  • I own a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat based in Castleford with a leasehold unexpired of 72 years. I am enquiring about what it will cost me to extend my lease
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are five apartments in the block. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. What's your solicitors fee?
  • We are looking to extend our lease having owned the place for 2 years as of 6th May 2016. It has about 57 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as possible.
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Castleford and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Castleford with 82yrs remaining)
  • We have a garden flat in Castleford with a lease of 56 years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom apartment in Castleford. 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?
