Frequently asked questions relating to Gloucester Lease Extensions

  • I acquired a flat in Gloucester with a leasehold unexpired just under 63 years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next stages
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Gloucester, where the lease is around 71 years but she was advised by the estate agents that the flat owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the owner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are four flats in the building. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. Are you able to help us with this situation?
  • We are considering buying a garden flat in Gloucester which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease expires, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from extending the lease?
  • We wish to extend our lease. We will have been in the property for 2 years as of 1st Jan 2015. It has around 54 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as quickly and stress free as possible.
  • My husband and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our one bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Gloucester. We have a seventy seven year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has supplied us with a premium amount that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a conveyancers to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • It says on your website the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost excluding value added tax and the land registry fee? The price has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my studio flat in Gloucester
  • I own the freehold of a one bedroom flat in Gloucester. The leaseholders have fivety eight years on a lease and wants to purchase another 90 years. The have offered me 25k. Is this around the right price?
  • We are purchasing a three bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Gloucester which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors 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 have to be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
