  • Coming up to 2 years that I have been in my ground floor flat in Cilfynydd. I have sixety yrs outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers 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 financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Cilfynydd as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
  • I have a lease of fivety four years remaining on my flat in Cilfynydd.

Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
