Flint Mountain Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I own a leasehold flat in the Flint Mountain area and was curious if I could obtain a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has seventy four years remaining
  • I am looking for a in Flint Mountain and they need to be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and refinance simultaneously. Are you able to recommend any please ?
  • Possibly made an error, I am searching for a in Flint Mountain who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Flint Mountain are 99 years from 10 Feb 1980. Can you give me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more specifics please?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Flint Mountain. The lease has only 54 years outstanding and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 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 is achievable but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are three apartments in the house. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. Are you willing to help us with this situation?
  • 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?
  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my one bedroom apartment in Flint Mountain. I have 65 years remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired 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: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to LVT)?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Flint Mountain 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?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my 2 bed flat in Flint Mountain. 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?
