Castleford Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • Me and my partner are thinking about a lease extension for our apartment located in Castleford and we are confused by the communication that we received from our freehold company. How long will it take?
  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and extend the lease. The homeowner has been there for three years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years unexpired so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my 2 bed flat in Castleford, and would like some figures on that.
  • I'm looking for an apartment to buy in Castleford and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold arrangement. I've found a studio flat I like with a 91 years lease. My research reveals that I can go for a lease extension after 2 years, but:- Should I be looking for some caveats that would prevent me for getting a lease extension?
  • Me and my partner are considering buying a garden flat in Castleford which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • We wish to extend our lease. We will have been in the apartment for two years as of 1st Jan 2015. It has approximately 67 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My partner and I have owned a leasehold flat for around fifteen years. There are 60 years left on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my property lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of less than 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?
  • We currently own a one bed flat in Castleford and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has sixety years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
