Great Barr Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • 35k agreed with the landlord, just trying to find a Great Barr for a lease extension. Our lease has about 67 yrsleft. Can you please help us with this situation ?
  • I am in need of a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I would like to buy. It has fivety four years residual lease term.
  • I'm thinking of purchasing a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat (leasehold) but the freeholder has been absent for about 15yrs. My query is would it be cheaper to try to buy the reversionary title or to extend lease and apply for RTM?
  • We are considering buying a one bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Great Barr which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease expires, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?
  • 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?
  • Me and my fiance have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our ground floor flat in Great Barr. We have a fivety six year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has supplied us with a premium amount that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my ground floor flat in Great Barr
  • My and my husband are concerned about getting a lease extension from an objectionable landlord. Even though the correct procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the landlord still tried to charge ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every twenty five years of the new term. Can you assist?
  • My mother knows that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Great Barr with 82yrs remaining)
