Common questions relating to Havering Lease Extensions

  • My partner has a flat based in Havering which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has nearon seventy one years left on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I am looking at investing in a second home but it has a lease that expires in fifteen years. Its in Havering - I wanted to see if with your services it is possible for this to be extended?
  • I am looking to buy a maisonette in Havering with a lease of sixety four years but have no idea how much I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I am looking to either purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Havering and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £2500 to extend the lease. I plan to simultaneously refinance with TSB to release of equity. The adviser dealing with the remortgage suggested I get two estimates : one for the lease extension and one for the freehold purchase .The lease began in 1991 and since then the ground rent has increased from £15.00 per annum to £300 per annum.
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Havering. The lease has only fivety eight years remaining and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite 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? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are four apartments in the block. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. How long will take to get a lease extension?
  • We wish to extend our lease having owned the apartment for 2 years as of 6th April 2015. It has slightly more than sixety eight years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by way of an additional 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as possible.
  • My son has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Havering. House split into three apartments. He has a lease, which has around 66 yrs remaining. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Havering. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1895. Its the rear garden.
  • I have a lease of seventy seven years remaining on my flat in Havering. 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?
