Frequently asked questions relating to Coombe Lease Extensions

  • My wife has a flat based in Coombe which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has slightly more than seventy eight years balance left on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am after more information on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I am looking to extend the lease on my studio flat in Coombe which will have sixety four years remaining in June. What fees are applicable?

  • We have a residential flat in Coombe with sixety one years to run. Last year we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for a further thirty years but also increase ground rent from notional to £200 per year..plus a premium I think of about 16k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • We are proceeding with buying a three bed flat in Coombe. I was advised that the lease had been lengthened (61 years left prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the homeowner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • Me and my OH have owned a leasehold flat for about twenty years. It now has seventy four years outstanding on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my property lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to LVT and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my studio flat in Coombe
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Coombe. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
