Frequently asked questions relating to Grimsby Lease Extensions

  • Me and my fiance have just purchased a garden flat based inGrimsby and I'm considering a lease extension as soon as possible e.g. after two years
  • I am considering investing in a holiday home but it has a lease that expires in twenty years. Its in Grimsby - I wanted to see if with your services this could be extended?
  • My neighbours and I are in a block containing four flats in Grimsby and have been offered to buy the freehold for £3,500 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?
  • We bought a leasehold with a freeholder who has failed to give us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Grimsby and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I am concerned that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a maisonette in Grimsby, where the lease is around sixety eight years but she was advised by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the owner was waiting for her to appoint solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it may take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • Me and my fiance are considering purchasing a one bedroom apartment in Grimsby which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what happens when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and prevent me from extending the lease?
  • I'm hoping for some help with regard to extending the lease on my maisonette. The intention is to do this next summer 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 tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • We know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend such a course of action?
  • I require an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a one bedroom apartment in Grimsby. She already has a price from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is too expensive.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Grimsby as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
