Hartlepool Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • I invested in buying a flat in Hartlepool with a leasehold unexpired just under 69 years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next steps
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
  • I am concerned that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a garden flat in Hartlepool, where the lease is approximately fivety seven years but she was advised by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the vendor was waiting for her to retain lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Hartlepool. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1895. Its the garden area.
  • If somebody 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?
  • I'm intent on acquiring a flat in Hartlepool at a price of £256,000 the flat has just under sixety eight years left on the lease. My offer was subject to the lease being renewed... .. that was back in September, expecting I'd be in before now. They have just informed the agent they'll knock £5k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • I am the registered freeholder of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Hartlepool. I live in the top flat. I was looking at the land registry documents recently when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 62 years remaining. Can one do a lease extension without using a ?
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you recommend such a course of action?
  • I have a lease of sixety six years remaining on my flat in Hartlepool. 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?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Hartlepool. 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. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
