FAQs concerning Eastbourne Lease Extensions

  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Eastbourne are 99 years from 14 Sep 1989. Can you give me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more details please?
  • I will soon view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 56 years remaining on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Eastbourne. The lease has just seventy three years left and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting 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 is achievable but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.

  • 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 the freeholder of a property in Eastbourne and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has suggested a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
