Frequently asked questions relating to Dunholme Lease Extensions

  • I have shares in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of six flats each. Two of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm wondering about the procedure for this
  • 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?
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium valued. The flat is in Dunholme, and my lease will reach fivety seven years this February. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the LVT court?
  • My mortgage provider requires several hundred pounds for their solicitors to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in Dunholme... I am unable to find any reference of this in my mortgage booklet... is this a normal cost that they charge?
  • My flat in Dunholme is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is 79 years remaining on the lease and I want to extend the lease. What will it likely cost to extend in this location by, say,35 years
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are three flats in the building. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. How long will take to get a lease extension?
  • 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 do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Dunholme. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1895. Its the garden area.
  • I am planning on remortgaging my one bedroom apartment in Dunholme and the bank that I am looking to move to needs at least 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to take the mortgage forward. I have discovered that I currently have around sixety nine years on the leasehold so require some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
  • We have a ground floor flat in Dunholme with a lease of seventy four years left with a value of around £410000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
