  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Cleveleys. The lease has just 76 years outstanding and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this 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 legal 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.

  • My brother and I are are hoping to complete on a maisonette in Cleveleys which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to wait until the new lease is registered?
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much is the premium payable for a lease extension on a residential property in Cleveleys for a one bed flat - sec 42 is already in place?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Cleveleys where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has suggested a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. 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 face?
  • My and my fiance are concerned about seeking a lease extension from tricky freeholder. Notwithstanding that the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to get ground rent of £200 doubling every twenty years of the new term. Can you assist?
