Sample questions relating to Crawley Lease Extensions

  • My wife has a flat in Crawley which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has just under seventy five years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am interested in more information on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Thank you.
  • I am looking to extend the lease on my ground floor flat in Crawley which will have 78 years unexpired lease in September. What fees are applicable?
  • I acquired a studio flat in Crawley. The lease commenced in 1992 for 99 years. Now I am looking for a lease extension. I am not entirely sure about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a block comprising four flats in Crawley and have been offered to buy the freehold for 5k per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • I am about to view a one bedroom apartment, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 79 years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Crawley. The lease has just 58 years unexpired and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the homeowner 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 may be possible but will it be very time costly to the seller? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a garden flat in Crawley, where the lease is approximately fivety eight years but she was told by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the current owner was holding off for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds devious, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I am currently in the process of remortgaging my ground floor flat in Crawley and the next lender that I am looking to move to requires a minimum 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. I have discovered that I currently have around fivety four years on the leasehold so require some advice, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
  • We currently own a three bed flat in Crawley and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 60 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Crawley. 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. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
