I am interested in getting a lease extension for a flat in Goodmayes and want to use a local conveyancing practitioners. Is there a conveyancers that you can recommend?
I acquired a maisonette in Goodmayes with a leasehold unexpired of 70 years. I am enquiring about what it will cost me to extend my leasehold
I have been in touch with my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Goodmayes. Her lawyers has been in contact regarding costs etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started February 1986.
My co-lessees and I are in a block consisting of five flats in Goodmayes and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
I wondered if you could help me on how much it would cost and the optimum way to get a lease extension started? I have approximately 79 years remaining and I own a maisonette in Goodmayes.
I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Goodmayes, where the lease is slightly more fivety four years but she was told by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the flat owner was waiting for her to retain conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it may take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
I intend to buy a one bed flat in Goodmayes for asking price of 145k, which has 67 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and easy 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?
Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my ground floor flat in Goodmayes. I have seventy years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers 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 the tribunal etc)?
I am planning on refinancing my one bed flat in Goodmayes and the mortgage company that I am looking to move to requires at least 85 years remaining on the lease in order for them to take the mortgage forward. I have found that I currently have around 77 years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
