  • I think our lawyers has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to know how to complain

  • My husband and I have a leasehold flat in Halewood with 54 years remaining. Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for another thirty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to £250 per annum..plus a premium I think of approximately 16k. Finally we have decided to go ahead but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Edinburgh but the property in question is based in Halewood. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • It says on your website the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the land registry fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bedroom apartment in Halewood
  • Me and my OH are hoping to purchase a home (a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat based inHalewood with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least eighty five years outstanding. We found a flat we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our property lawyers told us the lease only has 78 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we reduce our offer?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Halewood. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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. Can you recommend a good property lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
