  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I have been in touch with my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Harrow on the Hill. His conveyancers has been in contact regarding costs etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension.

Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process 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 may be possible but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have nearly fivety four years outstanding on my lease on a studio flat in Harrow on the Hill.

  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Harrow on the Hill. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a maisonette in Harrow on the Hill. She already has a figure from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is reasonable.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Harrow on the Hill 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?
