Sample questions relating to Grasmere Lease Extensions

  • We are in a building containing four flats in Grasmere 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 concerned that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Grasmere, where the lease is roughly 60 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the owner was waiting for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it may take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • My partner and I have a residential flat in Grasmere with fivety four years remaining. Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for a further fifty years but also increase ground rent from notional to £300 per year..plus a premium I think of approximately 16k. We have now decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • We wish to extend our lease. We will have been in the place for 2 years as of 6th Jan 2016. It has approximately 60 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as possible.
  • Me and my wife have owned a leasehold flat for about twenty years. It now has fivety eight years unexpired lease on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my property lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • I am the freeholder of a Georgian property split into two flats. I live in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current seventy six years. What are my next steps?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Dublin but the flat in question is based in Grasmere. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • Just been over two years that I have owned my three bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Grasmere. I have 70 yrs left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: Is there a benefit in getting a Grasmere based conveyancers or any will do fine?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Grasmere where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to incur?
  • I am planning on refinancing my one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Grasmere and the mortgage company that I am looking to switch to needs a minimum 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. We currently have around sixety seven years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
