Cawthorne Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Cawthorne 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 Barclays Direct giving us the mortgage now?
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I own a leasehold apartment in Cawthorne. I have built a huge extension and have not informed the leaseholder. What should I do?
  • I am planning to get a lease extension and am wondering which step I have to do first, I have been previously advised that I have to have the finances in place before I initiate the process, is this correct?
  • Me and my husband would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Cawthorne. Is this something you can assist us with?
  • 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 anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding value added tax and the HMLR fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bedroom apartment in Cawthorne
  • I'm seeking some advice concerning a lease extension on my maisonette. The plan is to do this sometime next year as we must move 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 LVT route. You are able to recommend a good conveyancers who specialises in lease extensions. Preferably nearby in Cawthorne?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Cawthorne 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 79 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Cawthorne with 82yrs remaining)
