I am looking at investing in a holiday home but it has a lease that expires in 14 years. Its in Chatham - I wanted to see if with your services this could be extended?

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 am a landlord of a block of flats in Chatham, and the lessees are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I anticipate receiving the money next month. Are there any tax implications, the property is co-owned with my husband ?

We are considering purchasing a studio flat in Chatham which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease expires, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?

I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Chatham for asking price of 125k, which has seventy one years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

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?

We have owned a leasehold flat for about fifteen years. There are 54 years unexpired lease on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would appreciate some independent thoughts.

I note that your website states the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bed flat in Chatham

We are hoping to acquire a property (a maisonette located inChatham with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years left on the lease. We found a place we liked and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our advised us the lease only has seventy three years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?

We currently own a studio flat in Chatham 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 seventy one 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? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
