Frequently asked questions relating to Filey Lease Extensions

  • I plan on buying a flat located in Filey. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The seller’s lawyers has served the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Barnsley Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Filey for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 13k. Should I keep or sell the flat?

  • We currently own a three bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Filey and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 58 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Filey as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
