Top Ten Questions relating to Harlow Lease Extensions

  • Me and my fiance are seeking a lease extension for our garden flat based in Harlow and we don't fully understand the communication that we received from our freehold company. What's your solicitors fee?
  • So this is the scenario: I purchased a ground floor flat in Harlow that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • I own a leasehold flat in the Harlow area and was enquiring whether I could get a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. There are 56 years left
  • I bought a ground floor flat in Harlow. The lease commenced in 2001 for 99 years. Now I am looking for a lease extension. I am in the dark about additional expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • Is it possible to talk with you about a flat in Harlow, I am considering bidding at auction next month. The flat only has a few years remaining and I wanted to inquire about what it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • I will soon view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 73 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Harlow. The lease has just sixety years left and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait 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 achievable but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Harlow where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • I am worried about seeking a lease extension from an objectionable freeholder. Even though the legal procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to charge ground rent of £300 doubling every twenty five years of the new lease. Can you assist?
  • I have a lease of 67 years remaining on my flat in Harlow. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
