Top Ten Questions relating to Crick Lease Extensions

  • My partner has an apartment based in Crick which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has around seventy eight years balance left on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested.

  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Crick. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The current owner’s has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Aldermore. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am about to view a two bedroom flat, 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 seventy one years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • Offer accepted on a a garden flat in Crick, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer come through which states the lease as 82 years.Contracts were due to be exchanged in a couple of days. My question is why has this only just been brought to my attention by my ?
  • My (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?
  • My brother and I have owned a leasehold flat for about eighteen years. It now has seventy two years outstanding on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my 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 a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my studio flat in Crick I am looking for help to verify the premium. I have a quote from the landlord. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Crick and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has put forward a much higher premium. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • I have a lease of 61 years remaining on my flat in Crick. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
