Frequently asked questions relating to Frogmore Lease Extensions

  • I agreed with the freeholder for a lease extension on our flat in Frogmore, 17k for a further 90yrs. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years remaining so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
  • I'm looking for a flat to buy in Frogmore and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold concept. I've identified a maisonette I like with a 91 years lease. I've read that I can get a lease extension having owned the property for 2 years, but:- Is this a given?
  • I am about to view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety eight years left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the lender will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I am looking at acquiring an auction property and identified a one bed flat in Frogmore. It only has a fifty year lease..the vendor being mortgagees in possession will not want the aggravation of seeking a lease extension..what are the disadvantages of this except for the costly fee to extend the lease and decreased chance of obtaining a mortgage with HSBC Bank?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately twenty years. There are seventy five years unexpired lease on the lease.

  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my garden flat in Frogmore. I have sixety one years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased 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: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Frogmore. I reside in the upper flat. I was reviewing the title deeds recently when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is seventy years left on the lease. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the fees?
  • I have a lease of 59 years remaining on my flat in Frogmore. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
