Top Ten Questions relating to East Beckton Lease Extensions

  • I am looking at investing in a second home but it has a lease that expires in eighteen years. Its in East Beckton - I wanted to see if with your services this could be extended?
  • I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in East Beckton. His has been in contact concerning fees etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started March 1985.
  • I purchased a garden flat in East Beckton. The start date for the lease was in 2001 for 99 years. Now I am looking for a lease extension. I am not entirely sure about additional expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in East Beckton. The lease has only seventy two years residual lease term and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting 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 current owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • 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?

  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Belfast but the flat in question is based in East Beckton. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my flat. I'll be looking to do this in six months time as we need to 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 tribunal route. Do I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I am currently in the process of remortgaging my ground floor flat in East Beckton and the mortgage company that I am looking to move to requires at least 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. I have discovered that I currently have around seventy five years on the leasehold so require some help, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
  • I have a lease of seventy two years remaining on my flat in East Beckton. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
