  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and extend the lease. The owner has been there for four years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • Hello. I need a to have a look at my lease extension before it's completed just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor variations.
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in East Dulwich, and my lease will reach seventy seven years this March.

  • My mortgage lender is requesting a £500 fee for their for a "deed of substituted security" for the lease extension for my flat in East Dulwich... I can find no reference of this in my mortgage contract... is this a usual charge?
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in East Dulwich, and the lessees are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I anticipate receiving the money within a month or so. Are there any tax implications, the property is in joint names with my partner ?
  • We wish to extend our lease having owned the flat for two years as of 22nd Jan 2016. It has circa 70 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as quickly and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My wife and I are are hoping to complete on a three bed flat in East Dulwich which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in East Dulwich where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has suggested a much higher premium. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
  • I require an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a three bed flat in East Dulwich. She already has a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too expensive.
