Frequently asked questions relating to Cobham Lease Extensions

  • I am looking for lease extension for our ground floor flat in Cobham and we are confused by the communication that we got from our freehold company. What's your solicitors fee?
  • I want to buy a leasehold property and lease extension. The owner has been there for four years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Cobham are 99 years from 14 Jan 1990. Can you provide me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more specifics please?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my GFF in Cobham, and would like some figures on that.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Cobham, where the lease is roughly fivety seven years but she was advised by the selling agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been advised the homeowner was waiting for her to instruct conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take months to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • We have a first floor flat in Cobham with fivety five years left. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for another 25 years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to £300 per annum..plus a premium I think of approximately 9k. Finally we have decided to proceed but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • My property lawyers (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'm living at parents but have a garden flat in Cobham let out which has a 73 year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Cobham for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 21k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
  • We are concerned about seeking a lease extension from tricky landlord. Even though the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to charge ground rent of £200 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new lease. Can you help?
  • We have a one bedroom apartment in Cobham with a lease of 59 years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
