  • I am thinking about a lease extension for our flat based in Grappenhall and we are confused by the communication that we received from our freehold company. What's your legal fee?
  • My neighbours and I are in a block consisting of five flats in Grappenhall 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 am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Grappenhall. The lease has just 77 years residual lease term and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting 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 is achievable but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My leasehold flat in Grappenhall is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is 79 years remaining on the lease and I want a lease extension. How much does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say,45 years
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Grappenhall for asking price of 156k, which has 59 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 question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

  • We currently own a 2 bed flat in Grappenhall and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has sixety three years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
