Sample questions relating to Dersingham Lease Extensions

  • I have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Dersingham. Her has been in contact regarding charges etc. I need a ball park figure for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started May 1987.
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Dersingham are 99 years from 12 Feb 1980. Can you give me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more specifics please?
  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have roughly sixety four years left on my lease on a one bedroom apartment in Dersingham. I have contacted the managing agents who act on behalf of the head landlord and they provided me with the number for the surveyor. I left a phone message for the valuer but I am not getting any kind of response.
  • We are looking to extend our lease. We will have been in the flat for two years as of 22nd March 2016. It has just over 68 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • 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 sister have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. It now has sixety three years outstanding on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my 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 LVT and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • Just been over two years that I have been in my garden flat in Dersingham. I have 70 years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 350K, 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?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Dersingham where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has suggested a much higher amount. 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'm hoping for some help with regard to extending the lease on my flat. The intention is to do this in nine months time as we have 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 tribunal route. You are able to recommend a good with expertise in lease extensions. Preferably someone in Dersingham area?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Dersingham as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
