De Beauvoir Town Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I purchased a property in De Beauvoir Town and it has roughly seventy three years balance left. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • I am considering investing in a holiday home but it has a lease that expires in 14 years. Its in De Beauvoir Town - I wanted to see if with your services this could be extended?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years left so a lease extension is not required. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • We hope to sell our one bedroom apartment in De Beauvoir Town but we may need to extend the lease, or at least cover the costs of our buyers. Are you able to help me find someone to assist?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a block made up four flats in De Beauvoir Town and have been offered to buy the freehold for £6000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • I am about to view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 73 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in De Beauvoir Town for asking price of 156k, which has 56 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Just been over 2 years that I have been in my studio flat in De Beauvoir Town. I have seventy four yrs left on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
  • Me and my sister have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our 2 bed flat in De Beauvoir Town. We have a 73 year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has given us with a premium amount that she 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 to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette in De Beauvoir Town. 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?
