I have around 56 years unexpired lease on my lease on a two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Esher and Claygate.

  • We have a one bedroom flat located in Esher and Claygate. There is eighty years remaining on the lease and we want to extend the lease. How much will it likely cost to extend in this location by, say,45 years
  • My fiance and I are considering buying a 2 bed flat in Esher and Claygate which is a leasehold.

  • Just been over two years that I have owned my studio flat in Esher and Claygate. I have 59 years left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • My partner and I are acquiring a garden flat in Esher and Claygate which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our 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?
  • We know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest this course of action?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my three bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Esher and Claygate
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Esher and Claygate. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
