Chipping Campden Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I have shares in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of seven flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want to extend their leases and I'm enquiring about the the process
  • I am considering investing in a holiday home but it has a lease that expires in fifteen years. Its in Chipping Campden - I wanted to see if with your services it is possible for this to 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?
  • Is it possible to talk with you about a leasehold property in Chipping Campden, I am considering buying at auction in the next few days. The flat only has a few years remaining and I was wondering about what it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • I am about to view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my perfect 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 64 years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the lender will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • My brother and I have owned a leasehold flat for approximately fifteen years. It now has fivety four years left on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would appreciate advice.
  • I am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two apartments. I live in the upper flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 67 years. What are my next steps?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Chipping Campden. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
  • I'm seeking some advice with regard to extending the lease on my flat. I'll be looking to do this next June as we need to 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. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • My mother knows that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you recommend this course of action?
