Top Ten Questions relating to Great Missenden Lease Extensions

  • I bought a one bed apartment in Great Missenden that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease needing a lease extension. How long will it take ?
  • I'm deliberating over purchasing a maisonette (leasehold) but the landlord has been absent for circa 15yrs. My question is would it be less expensive to try to purchase the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for right to manage?
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Great Missenden are 101 years from 12 Feb 1990. Please supply me me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more details please?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Great Missenden. The lease has only 76 years balance left and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time consuming to the owner? To add to the complexity the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My husband has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Great Missenden. House split into three flats. He has a lease, which has just under 72 yrs left. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my maisonette in Great Missenden I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a quote from the freeholder. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Great Missenden. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1895. Its the garden area.
  • I'm seeking some help concerning extending the lease on my apartment. The plan is to do this sometime next year as we must move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the LVT route. Do I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder was reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you recommend this course of action?
  • We currently own a ground floor flat in Great Missenden 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 63 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
