  • We inherited a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to give us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Didcot and are therefore deliberating the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can handle for us?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Didcot. The lease has only fivety six years residual lease term and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time consuming to the seller? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • 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 are hoping to acquire a property (a maisonette inDidcot with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum ninety years left. We found a flat we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our informed us the lease only has fivety four years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
