  • Hi, I am looking somewhere around or in Crowland 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the right site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?

  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Crowland. The lease has just sixety two years balance left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process 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 is legal but will it be very time consuming to the seller? To add to the complexity the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately fifteen years. It now has sixety five years unexpired lease on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my studio flat in Crowland. I have 70 yrs outstanding on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • I do not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Crowland. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my ground floor flat in Crowland
  • Me and my fiance are purchasing a studio flat in Crowland which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must hold on pending registration of the new lease?
