  • I inherited a property in Caterham and it has slightly more than fivety six years unexpired. I'd like to extend the lease period
  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and extend the lease. The flat owner has been there for four 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 are in a block of four flats in Caterham and have been offered to buy the freehold for 7k per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • We own a leasehold with a freeholder who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Caterham and are therefore considering the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • My partner and I are considering buying a two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Caterham which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease expires, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • 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?
  • I note that your website states the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my 2 bed flat in Caterham
  • I'm looking for some help concerning a lease extension on my maisonette. I'll be looking to do this next June as we must move then.

Can you recommend a good solicitors who specialises in lease extensions. Preferably based in Caterham?
  • I have sixety three years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Caterham, the Landlord requires a £25k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is acceptable
