Sample questions relating to Gidea Park Lease Extensions

  • I think our has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I want to know how to go about making a formal complaint
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I'm thinking of buying a maisonette (leasehold) but the freeholder has been absent for circa 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be cheaper to try to purchase the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • How much will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have circa 58 years outstanding on my lease on a garden flat in Gidea Park. I have called the agent who act on behalf of the landlord and they gave me the number of the valuer. I left a phone message for the surveyor but I am not receiving any calls back.
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in Gidea Park, and the leaseholders are in the process of being given lease extensions. I should hopefully get funds next week. How does the tax work, the property is co-owned with my husband ?
  • 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?
  • Me and my wife are purchasing a studio flat in Gidea Park which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we must hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • I require an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a garden flat in Gidea Park. She already has a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am not sure it is reasonable.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Gidea Park 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?
