Frequently asked questions relating to Fishponds Lease Extensions

  • 40k agreed with the landlord, just attempting to find a Fishponds conveyancing practitioners for a lease extension. Our flat has just over 73 yrsunexpired lease. How long will this take ?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Fishponds. The lease has just sixety eight years residual lease term and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two year qualifying 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 homeowner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Fishponds, where the lease is nearon seventy five years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the current owner was waiting for her to retain conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

  • I am the registered freeholder of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Fishponds. I live in the top flat.

Is it possible to do a lease extension without instructing a conveyancers?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Fishponds and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
