  • We are considering purchasing a one bedroom apartment in Havering which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what happens when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from extending the lease?
  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a studio flat in Havering. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (71 years left prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The vendor apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the vendor wants to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • I am the owner of a purpose-built apartment based in a large development in Havering. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a ninety five year lease started from 2nd November 1972 with a non-reviewable yearly rent of 20. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Can I talk with someone to discuss my options please?
  • My wife and I are worried about getting a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Notwithstanding that the correct procedures were followed under the appropriate legislation, the freeholder still attempted to get ground rent of £300 doubling every twenty five years of the new lease. Can you help?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Havering 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?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my two bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Havering. 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?
