  • My co-lessees and I are in a building comprising four flats in Exeter and have been offered to buy the freehold for £6000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • We are proceeding with buying a studio flat in Exeter. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (78 years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the vendor intends to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is why has this only just been brought to my attention by my ?
  • My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately fifteen years. It now has 65 years remaining on the lease. Following a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • My partner and I would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Exeter. Would you be able to help?
  • Me and my wife are hoping to acquire a flat (a maisonette located inExeter with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum 83 years unexpired. We identified a apartment we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our advised us the lease only has sixety three years and therefore requires a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • We have a maisonette in Exeter with a lease of 77 years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
