Frequently asked questions relating to Edenbridge Lease Extensions

  • Hello, I just randomly found your site. I'm seeking prices on what a lease extension will cost for a maisonette located in Edenbridge. It's up for sale at the moment but has about 60 years of unexpired leasehold
  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of seven flats each. Two of the leasehold owners want a lease extension and I'm enquiring about the procedure for this
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Edenbridge but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Virgin Money giving us the mortgage now?
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Edenbridge. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The flat owner’s conveyancers has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Leeds Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Edenbridge for asking price of 145k, which has 56 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Me and my OH have owned a leasehold flat for around fifteen years. It now has 66 years unexpired lease on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my conveyancing practitioners and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome advice.
  • I am the freeholder of a Georgian property split into two flats. I reside in the upper flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 54 years. What are my next steps?
  • My partner and I are are hoping to complete on a one bedroom apartment in Edenbridge which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must be patient pending registration of the new lease?
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much is the premium payable for a lease extension on a residential property in Edenbridge for a one bed flat - section 42 having been issued?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my three bed flat in Edenbridge
