Examples of recent questions relating to Lease Extensions in Henlow

  • We agreed with the head landlord for a lease extension on our flat in Henlow, 14k for an extension by 90yrs. Are you willing to guide us with this situation ?
  • I need to extend my current lease can you assist? I think it has sixety three years residual lease term
  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Henlow. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The owner’s property lawyers has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. 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 Chelsea Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Henlow, where the lease is roughly 60 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been advised the seller was waiting for her to appoint solicitors before commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it will take months to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • We had entered into buying a garden flat in Henlow. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (55 years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The current owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the owner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Halifax won't lend on a lease?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Glasgow but the flat in question is based in Henlow. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I'm intent on purchasing a flat in Henlow valued at £210,000 the flat has something like sixety three years left on the lease. I put in an offer subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in August, expecting I'd have moved in by now. They have just come back saying that they are prepared to reduce the price by£2k if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
  • We are are hoping to complete on a garden flat in Henlow which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • I am planning on remortgaging my two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Henlow and the bank that I am looking to switch to requires at least 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to take the mortgage forward. We currently have around fivety nine years on the leasehold so require some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
  • I have a lease of 66 years remaining on my flat in Henlow. 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?
