FAQs concerning Fortis Green Lease Extensions

  • My name´s Andrew. I’m flat hunting in Fortis Green I'm considering offering on a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat online, with slightly more 54 years unexpired lease, how much will it likely cost to extend in this area by, say, twenty years?
  • I am about to put an offer in on a one bedroom apartment in Fortis Green with a lease of 61 years but unsure what I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Fortis Green are 99 years from 15 Sep 1980. Please give me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more information please?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Fortis Green. The lease has just seventy nine years remaining and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Initial 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 legal but will it be very time consuming to the seller? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Fortis Green, where the lease is roughly fivety four years but she was informed by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been advised the current owner was waiting for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it may take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • We have a GFF based in Fortis Green. There is 81 years remaining on the lease and we want a lease extension. How much will it likely cost to extend in this area by, say,35 years
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Fortis Green for asking price of 125k, which has fivety six years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My query is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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 know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Fortis Green. 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?
