FAQs concerning Heath Hayes Lease Extensions

  • I’m seeking a lease extension for our leasehold house based in Heath Hayes and we don't fully understand the letter that we got from our landlord company. What's your legal fee?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my first floor flat in Heath Hayes, and would like some figures on that.
  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Heath Hayes, where the lease is roughly sixety four years but she was advised by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the homeowner was holding off for her to instruct lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • My flat in Heath Hayes is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is 79 years unexpired on the lease and I want to extend the lease. How much does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say,25 years
  • Me and my partner had entered into buying a ground floor flat in Heath Hayes. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety eight years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars said "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 flat owner supposedly has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the current owner intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my property lawyers didn't spot this far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My brother has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Heath Hayes. House divided into three apartments. He has a lease, which has circa 57 yrs left. 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?
  • My wife and I have owned a leasehold flat for about fifteen years. It now has seventy years remaining on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
  • We are purchasing a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Heath Hayes which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our conveyancers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • Me and my husband are hoping to purchase a property (a one bed flat based inHeath Hayes with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum eighty five years unexpired. We came across a place we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our solicitors told us the lease only has 67 years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a one bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Heath Hayes. She recently got a figure from the landlord for a lease extension but I am not sure it is reasonable.
