Frequently asked questions relating to Chipping Sodbury Lease Extensions

  • Hi, I am looking somewhere around or in Chipping Sodbury 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the right site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • 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 56 years outstanding.
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium valued. The flat is in Chipping Sodbury, and my lease will reach 55 years this Septembmer. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the LVT court?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Chipping Sodbury. The lease has just 72 years left and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the vendor? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Chipping Sodbury, where the lease is about seventy one years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the vendor was holding off for her to appoint solicitors prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I own a purpose-built flat in a large block in Chipping Sodbury. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 101 year lease started from 21st January 1972 with a non-reviewable ground rent of £15 per annum. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to discuss my options please?
  • 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?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Glasgow but the flat in question is based in Chipping Sodbury. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • We are hoping to acquire a property (a maisonette based inChipping Sodbury with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least ninety years residual lease term. We found a place we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our advised us the lease only has 54 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we negotiate our offer?
