Top Ten Questions relating to Grasmere Lease Extensions

  • I am seeking a lease extension for our apartment based in Grasmere and we don't fully understand the communication that we got from our freehold company. What's your solicitors fee?
  • 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 am about to view a one bedroom apartment, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation.

It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?

  • We are are hoping to complete on a studio flat in Grasmere which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer 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 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 lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
