Frequently asked questions relating to Castleton Lease Extensions

  • My husband agreed with the head landlord for a lease extension on our flat in Castleton, 11k for a further 90yrs. How long is the process ?
  • My name´s Jake. I’m property hunting in Castleton I'm seeing a garden flat online, with slightly less sixety nine years left, how much will it likely cost to extend in this location by, say, 25 years?
  • I think our property lawyers has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I want to find out how to go about making a formal complaint
  • I am looking for a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I would like to buy. It has seventy seven years residual lease term.
  • I am about to view a one bedroom apartment, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has sixety years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Castleton. The lease has only 56 years unexpired and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the owner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for about eighteen years. It now has sixety eight years outstanding on the lease. Following a year of difficult negotiations through my conveyancers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my garden flat in Castleton. I have fivety four yrs remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my property lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: Is there a benefit in getting a Castleton based lawyers or any will do fine?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Castleton and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my garden flat in Castleton
