Crowborough Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • I have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Crowborough. His has been in contact with costs etc. I need a ball park figure for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started December 1984.
  • I own a studio flat in Crowborough. The lease started in 1998 for 99 years. Now I am wanting for a lease extension. I am unclear about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my studio flat in Crowborough, and would like some figures on that.
  • My husband and I have a leasehold flat in Crowborough with fivety eight years to run. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for another fifty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to a little more..plus a premium I think of about 14k. We have now decided to go ahead but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • Me and my OH had entered into buying a one bedroom apartment in Crowborough. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (fivety five years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the current owner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • 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?
  • Me and my OH are in the throws of buying a home (a two bedroom first floor purpose built flat based inCrowborough with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least ninety years balance left. We found a apartment we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our told us the lease only has sixety eight years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we reduce our offer?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Crowborough and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has suggested a much higher premium. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my maisonette in Crowborough
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette in Crowborough. 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. Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions?
