Top Ten Questions relating to Chantry Lease Extensions

  • My partner has a flat in Chantry which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has slightly more than seventy nine years unexpired on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am after more information on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Thank you.
  • I want to buy a leasehold property and extend the lease. The owner 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 ?
  • I am in need of a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I would like to purchase. It has seventy years left.
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years balance left so a lease extension is not required. 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 for a property lawyers in Chantry and they should be on the Nationwide Building Society approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and remortgage simultaneously. Can you recommend a solicitors ?

  • My fiance and I are buying a three bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Chantry which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our conveyancers to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • My OH and I are in the throws of buying a home (a maisonette based inChantry with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least eighty five years left on the lease. We found a apartment we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our property lawyers informed us the lease only has 54 years and therefore requires a lease extension. Do we run away, or do we reduce our offer?
