Castleton and Blacktown Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I have got a leasehold flat in the Castleton and Blacktown area and was wondering whether I could get a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has 60 years left
  • I need to extend my current lease can you help me with that? I think it has seventy five years unexpired
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my first floor flat in Castleton and Blacktown, and would like some figures on that.
  • I inherited a garden flat in Castleton and Blacktown. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is just under 80 years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a maisonette in Castleton and Blacktown, where the lease is roughly sixety years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the owner was waiting for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are three apartments in the block. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. What's your solicitors fee?
  • 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?
  • I would like some advice on leasehold property buying. We are going to buy a link detached house which is leasehold property is there any problem involved or hidden costs. Is it safe to buy a leasehold house in Castleton and Blacktown area with a loft extension..We are really concerned as we are first time buyers...Please advise if we want to let the property?
  • We have a maisonette in Castleton and Blacktown with a lease of fivety seven years left with a value of around £290000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Castleton and Blacktown. 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. Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions?
