Top Ten Questions relating to Enfield Wash Lease Extensions

  • Hi. I need a to have a look at my lease extension before it's signed just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a reissue with a few small variations.
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • Possibly made an error, I am seeking a in Enfield Wash who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Enfield Wash. The lease has only 74 years remaining and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion 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 may be possible but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? Unfortunately the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We have a residential flat in Enfield Wash with 64 years left. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for a further fifty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to £300 per annum..plus a premium I think of about 10k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • My OH and I are proceeding with a purchase of a one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Enfield Wash. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (67 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The seller supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the seller wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • My wife and I have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. There are 76 years unexpired lease on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome advice.

Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
