Earls Court Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • So this is the scenario: I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Earls Court that I am now unable to sell due to the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • I am fairly sure that our conveyancing practitioners has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to find out how to go about making a formal complaint
  • I acquired a property in Earls Court and it has nearly 61 years outstanding. I'd like to extend the lease period
  • I am looking for a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I intend to purchase. It has 58 years unexpired.
  • I am about to put an offer in on a studio flat in Earls Court with a lease of fivety nine years but unsure how much I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Earls Court, where the lease is around seventy two years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the homeowner was holding off for her to appoint conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • We have a leasehold flat in Earls Court with 75 years unexpired. Last year we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for another thirty years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of approximately 10k. We have now decided to go ahead but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • Me and my OH had entered into a purchase of a two bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Earls Court. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The owner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the owner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
  • I'm intent on buying an apartment in Earls Court at a price of £195,000 the flat has approximately seventy one years left on the lease. My offer was conditional upon a lease extension... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd have moved in before Christmas. The owner has just informed me they'll knock £4k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • I know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you suggest this course of action?
