Clapton Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • Hi, I just randomly found your site. I'm seeking prices on what a lease extension will cost for a maisonette located in Clapton. It's up for sale at the moment but has around seventy four years of unexpired leasehold
  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of six flats each. Two of the leasehold owners want a lease extension and I'm curious about the the process
  • I am looking for a lease extension on the lease on my ground floor flat in Clapton which will have 73 years outstanding in January. What fees do you charge for this?
  • I acquired a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Clapton. The start date for the lease was in 1991 for 99 years. Now I am wanting to extend the lease. I am uncertain about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • My neighbours and I are in a building containing five flats in Clapton and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • I'm looking for an apartment to buy in Clapton and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold concept. I've found a garden flat I like with a 91 years lease. My research reveals that I can get a lease extension after 2 years, but:- Is this a given?
  • I am considering purchasing an auction property and identified a two bed flat in Clapton. It has just 50 year lease..the current owner as mortgagees in possession will not want the aggravation of seeking a lease extension..what are the drawbacks of this except for the costly fee to put a new lease on it and decreased chance of getting a mortgage with Nationwide Building Society?
  • My leasehold flat in Clapton is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is eighty one years unexpired on the lease and I want to extend the lease. How much will it likely cost to extend in this location by, say,fifty years
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Clapton for asking price of 125k, which has sixety six 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 surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my maisonette in Clapton. I have 74 yrs remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to LVT)?
