Top Ten Questions relating to Downham Lease Extensions

  • My partner has a flat based in Downham which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has about 60 years balance left on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am interested in more information on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Thank you.
  • I am looking to buy a one bedroom apartment in Downham with a lease of fivety seven years but have no idea how much I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • Possibly made a mistake, I am searching for a property lawyers in Downham who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?

  • Last year I purchased a leasehold flat in Downham. I have built a large extension and have not informed my freeholder. What should I do?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Downham. The lease has only seventy eight years unexpired and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 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 consuming to the owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I am interested in getting my lease extended and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • I'm intent on purchasing an apartment in Downham valued at £256,000 the flat has approaching 63 years remaining on the lease. I put in an offer subject to the lease being renewed... .. that was back in November, expecting I'd be in by now. The owner has just informed me they'll knock £5k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • I am planning on refinancing my garden flat in Downham and the next lender that I am looking to switch to needs a minimum 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters.
