Top Ten Questions relating to Elmstead Lease Extensions

  • I purchased a flat in Elmstead with a leasehold unexpired about seventy five years and need a lease extension. Please can you clarify the next stages
  • Hi, I just randomly found your website. I'm looking for prices on what a lease extension will cost for a studio flat based in Elmstead. It's up for sale at the moment but has just under 75 years of unexpired leasehold
  • I am looking to extend the lease on my three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Elmstead which will have 71 years remaining in November. What fees apply?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my maisonette in Elmstead, and would like some figures on that.
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Elmstead. The lease has just 70 years balance left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying 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 seller? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I wondered if you could help me on the likely cost and the optimum way to start the lease extension process? I have roughly 66 years outstanding and I own a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Elmstead.
  • My partner and I had entered into a purchase of a studio flat in Elmstead. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety four years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the current owner wishes to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. 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 am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Glasgow but the flat in question is based in Elmstead. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I'm looking at acquiring a flat in Elmstead at a price of £256,000 the flat has approaching 66 years unexpired on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon a lease extension... .. that was back in September, expecting I'd have completed before Christmas. The owner has just come back saying that they are prepared to knock £5k off if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much does it cost for a lease extension on a residential property in Elmstead for a three bed flat - section 42 is already served?
