Top Ten Questions relating to Crofton Park Lease Extensions

  • I think our solicitors has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I want to know how to complain
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Crofton Park but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Clydesdale giving us the mortgage now?
  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have about seventy seven years outstanding on my lease on a garden flat in Crofton Park. I have contacted the managing agents who represent the freeholder and they provided me with the number of the surveyor. I telephone the valuer but I am not receiving any returned calls.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a three bed flat in Crofton Park, where the lease is about seventy three years but she was informed by the selling agents that the vendor had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the flat owner was waiting for her to retain lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • I am in need of a lease extension for my flat in Crofton Park and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • I am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two apartments. 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 sixety four years. What are my next steps?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Crofton Park. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1854. Its the rear garden.
  • We have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our ground floor flat in Crofton Park. We have a seventy three year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has supplied us with a premium amount that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a conveyancers to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Crofton Park and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Crofton Park. 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?
