Questions and Answers: Endon Lease Extensions

  • My partner has an apartment based in Endon which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has just over 79 years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • The terms for the lease on my flat in Endon are 99 years from 14 Jan 1980. Can you provide me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more information please?
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are five flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. Are you able to help us with this situation?
  • We are considering purchasing a garden flat in Endon which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease expires, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?
  • We wish to extend our lease having owned the flat for two years as of 11th Feb 2016. It has just over 62 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My OH and I have owned a leasehold flat for around eighteen years. There are 65 years left on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my conveyancers 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 a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
  • We are buying a garden flat in Endon which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
  • My and my partner are worried about getting a lease extension from an objectionable landlord. Notwithstanding that the correct procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still tried to get ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new term. Can you help?
  • My nephew knows that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal survey and base the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest such a course of action?
  • I am currently in the process of refinancing my maisonette in Endon and the mortgage company that I am looking to move to needs a minimum 80 years remaining on the lease in order for them to take the mortgage forward. I have found that I currently have around 79 years on the leasehold so require some advice, guidance, and some quotes to set the wheels in motion for a lease extension
