Frequently asked questions relating to Crook Lease Extensions

  • Me and my wife are thinking about a lease extension for our leasehold house located in Crook and we are confused by the communication that we received from our landlord company. What's your solicitors fee?
  • I am about to put an offer in on a one bedroom apartment in Crook with a lease of 75 years but have no idea how much it will cost me to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Crook. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The vendor’s solicitors 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 Coventry Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my studio flat in Crook, and would like some figures on that.
  • I own a leasehold apartment in Crook. I have built a huge extension and have not informed my freeholder. What should I do?
  • My conveyancers (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 has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Crook. House converted into three flats. He has a lease, which has circa 60 yrs remaining. How much would it cost for a lease extension and how many years would he need to extend by?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Belfast but the flat in question is based in Crook. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • We are in the throws of buying a flat (a garden flat located inCrook with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 84 years outstanding. We identified a flat we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our solicitors told us the lease only has 54 years and thus requires a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I'm seeking some advice concerning extending the lease on my maisonette. I'll be looking to do this next summer as we need to move 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 LVT route. Can you recommend a good conveyancers with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally based in Crook?
