Frequently asked questions relating to Clarbeston Road Lease Extensions

  • Hello, I am looking somewhere around or in Clarbeston Road 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 looking at investing in a second home but it has a lease that expires in 14 years. Its in Clarbeston Road - I wanted to see if with your services this could be extended?
  • I am looking for a lawyers in Clarbeston Road and they need to be on the Birmingham Midshires approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and refinance at the same time. Can you recommend a conveyancers ?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Clarbeston Road. The lease has only 57 years left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time consuming to the flat owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Clarbeston Road, where the lease is about 55 years but she was informed by the selling agents that the vendor had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the owner was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in Clarbeston Road, and the lessees are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I anticipate receiving funds next month. As I am not on self assessment do I contact the tax man ?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately twenty years. It now has seventy eight years remaining on the lease. Following a year of difficult negotiations through my lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
  • My OH and I are in the throws of buying a home (a three bed flat located inClarbeston Road with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum ninety years unexpired. We came across a apartment we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancers informed us the lease only has sixety four years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or should we reduce our offer?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Clarbeston Road where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has recommended a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Clarbeston Road 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?
