Cheddar Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I own a property in Cheddar and it has approximately 63 years remaining. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • Do you only advise on lease extensions in Cheddar? I own a flat in Abbey Wood with 90 years remaining, I am looking for a quote from a property lawyers.
  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have circa fivety five years remaining on my lease on a garden flat in Cheddar. I have contacted the managing agents who act on behalf of the freeholder and they provided me with the number for the surveyor. I left a phone message for the valuer but I am not receiving any returned calls.
  • Me and my fiance are considering buying a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Cheddar which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the pros and cons of that - what happens when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from extending the lease?
  • My partner and I would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Cheddar. Would you be able to help?
  • Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my three bed flat in Cheddar. I have seventy one years left on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my property lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • I own the freehold of a three bedroom flat in Cheddar. The leaseholders have fivety eight years on a lease and wants to purchase another 90 years. The have offered me 22k. Is this around the right price?
  • I'm intent on acquiring an apartment in Cheddar valued at £195,000 the flat has something like sixety two years remaining on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in September, expecting I'd have completed before now. The owner has just informed the agent that they are prepared to knock £5k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • Me and my husband are hoping to buy a home (a ground floor flat located inCheddar with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least eighty five years unexpired. We found a place we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our conveyancers advised us the lease only has seventy three years and thus requires a lease extension. Do 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?
  • I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Cheddar. I live in the upper flat. I was looking at the land registry documents recently when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 73 years unexpired. If I want a lease extension then would I just be paying for the lawyers fees?
