Frequently asked questions relating to Didcot Lease Extensions

  • Hello, I stumbled across your site. I'm seeking prices on what a lease extension will cost for a garden flat based in Didcot. It's on sale at the moment but has about 54 years left on the lease
  • I just completed on a property in Didcot and it has slightly less than seventy one years left. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • We own a leasehold with a freeholder who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Didcot and are therefore thinking about the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Didcot. The lease has only 54 years balance left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the two 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 may be possible but will it be very time costly to the vendor? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are five flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. What's your solicitors fee?
  • Me and my fiance have owned a leasehold flat for about eighteen years. There are sixety three years left on the lease. After 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.
  • I'm looking for some help concerning extending the lease on my maisonette. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we must 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 LVT route. You are able to recommend a good with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally someone in Didcot area?
