I am about to put an offer in on a two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Darwen with a lease of 54 years but not sure how much it will cost me to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
I own a maisonnette together with the freehold title. My downstairs neighbours have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
How much will it cost me and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have around 67 years remaining on my lease on a two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Darwen. I have contacted the managing agents who represent the freeholder and they gave me the number of the valuer. I telephone the surveyor but I am not getting any calls back.
I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Darwen, where the lease is circa sixety five years but she was advised by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the flat owner was holding off for her to appoint conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it may take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
Offer accepted on a a one bedroom apartment in Darwen, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease had over 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer sent through which states the lease as 85 years.Contracts were due to be exchanged within a week. My query is why has this only just been brought to my attention by my conveyancers?
My property lawyers (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?
If somebody owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
I own the freehold reversion of a property in Darwen where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. 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 fee would I be likely to face?
