Common questions relating to Crawley Lease Extensions

  • I am the registered owner of a flat in Crawley with a leasehold unexpired circa 61 years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next steps
  • I think our conveyancing practitioners has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to know how to go about making a formal complaint
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years outstanding so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
  • Do you only handle lease extensions in Crawley? I own a flat in Abbey Wood with 90 years left, I am looking for a quote from a property lawyers.
  • We purchased a leasehold with a freeholder who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Crawley and are therefore thinking about the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?
  • I am the owner of a purpose-built apartment based in a small block in Crawley. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 99 year lease started from 21st November 1970 with a set ground rent of £15 per annum. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to discuss my options please?
  • My 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 am the freeholder of a Victorian property split into two flats. I live in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 58 years. What are my next steps?
  • I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Crawley. I occupy in the upper flat. I was looking at the title deeds last night when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 71 years remaining. Is it possible to do a lease extension without instructing a conveyancing practitioners?
