Childwall Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I acquired a flat in Childwall with a leasehold unexpired approximately fivety eight years and need a lease extension. Please can you advise me of the next stages
  • I have a lease of sixety five years on a property which I am looking to buy how much am I looking at for the cost to extend the lease?
  • 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 have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Childwall. Her solicitors has been in contact regarding fees etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started June 1992.

  • I am about to view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety nine years remaining on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Childwall for asking price of 156k, which has 70 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I would like some advice on purchasing a leasehold residence. We hope to buy a semi detached house which is leasehold property is there any problem involved or hidden costs.

  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my ground floor flat in Childwall. I have fivety seven years outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. 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: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
