Frequently asked questions relating to Henley On Thames Lease Extensions

  • We are looking for lease extension for our garden flat in Henley On Thames and we don't fully comprehend the letter that we received from our freehold company. What's your legal fee?
  • I’m about to offer on a ground floor flat to purchase in the Henley On Thames area and was after more information on how much would it cost for a lease extension? It has sixety eight years unexpired...
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years left 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 25 years without the house being ours. Any advice would be much appreciated.
  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Henley On Thames. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The owner’s conveyancers has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Barclays Direct. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • We hope to sell our ground floor flat in Henley On Thames but we may need to extend the lease, or possibly cover the costs of our buyers. Can you recommend a solicitors to handle this?

  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a maisonette in Henley On Thames, where the lease is around sixety four years but she was advised by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the vendor was holding off for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it will take time to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My wife and I have a first floor flat in Henley On Thames with sixety six years unexpired. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for another fifty years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to £200 per annum..plus a premium I think of about 10k. Finally we have decided to proceed but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • I own 50% in a shared ownership property with a housing association and I am considering a lease extension on a lease which is now around 55 years. I need a lawyers at my end. Can you advise please? I live near Henley On Thames and have a mortgage with Santander.
