Goring Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • So this is the scenario: I inherited a garden flat in Goring that I am now unable to sell as a result of the lease needing a lease extension. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k 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 25 years without owning the property. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • I have contacted my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Goring. Her has been in contact with fees etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started Septembmer 1990.
  • Think I may have made a mistake, I am seeking a in Goring who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my garden flat in Goring, and would like some figures on that.
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Goring. The lease has only sixety eight years left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the flat owner? To add to the complexity the freeholder can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • 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?
  • We are hoping to purchase a flat (a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat based inGoring with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 83 years remaining. We came across a place we liked and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our told us the lease only has 59 years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a garden flat in Goring. She already has a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too expensive.
