I think our has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to find out how to complain

Hello. I need someone to review my lease extension prior to it being signed just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few small variations.

I purchased a garden flat in Harefield. The start date for the lease was in 1991 for 99 years. Now I am looking to extend the lease. I am uncertain about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?

I plan on buying a flat located in Harefield. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The homeowner’s has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Barnsley Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

I have my suspicions that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a maisonette in Harefield, where the lease is approximately fivety four years but she was told by the estate agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the owner was holding off for her to instruct conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Dublin but the property in question is based in Harefield. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.

If somebody owns a flat with a lease of less than 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 extending the lease?

My partner and I are acquiring a studio flat in Harefield which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we must be patient pending registration of the new lease?

I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Harefield 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?
