Lease Extensions in Harwell

Common questions relating to Harwell Lease Extensions

I purchased a flat in Harwell with a leasehold unexpired around seventy five years and need a lease extension. Please can you clarify the next steps

We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a concern. 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.

My neighbours and I are in a building comprising five flats in Harwell and have been offered to buy the freehold for 8k per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?

In 2012 I purchased a leasehold apartment in Harwell. I have built a huge extension and have not informed my freeholder. What are my options?

I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Harwell. The lease has just 76 years residual lease term and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the buyer 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 flat owner? To add to the complexity the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.

My husband and I have a ground floor flat in Harwell with sixety eight years to run. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for another thirty years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to £250 per annum..plus a premium I think of about 16k. Finally we have decided to go ahead but do we now have to renegotiate?

We are looking to extend our lease having owned the place for two years as of 11th March 2015. It has nearly seventy four years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as possible.

My OH and I have owned a leasehold flat for about eighteen years. It now has 77 years remaining on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome some independent thoughts.

Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Harwell. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.

I have a lease of 56 years remaining on my flat in Harwell. 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?
