Hertford Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • I am looking for a solicitors in Hertford and they should be on the Bank of Scotland approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and refinance simultaneously. Can you recommend any please ?
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I'm considering buying a ground floor flat (leasehold) but the freeholder has been missing for nearon 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to buy the reversionary title or to extend lease and apply for right to manage?
  • I will soon view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has sixety years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the lender will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • How much will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have roughly 77 years left on my lease on a ground floor flat in Hertford. I have emailed the agent who represent the freeholder and they provided me with the number of the valuer. I left a phone message for the valuer but I am not getting any calls back.
  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a garden flat in Hertford, where the lease is around 59 years but she was informed by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been informed the homeowner was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take months to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My partner and I have a one bedroom flat based in Hertford. There is 81 years remaining on the lease and we want to extend the lease. How much does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say,fifty years
  • I own a purpose-built apartment in a small development in Hertford. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 101 year lease which commenced from 2nd January 1970 with a set yearly rent of 35. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Can I talk with someone to discuss my options please?
  • We are hoping to buy a flat (a studio flat inHertford with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least 84 years outstanding. We found a place we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our conveyancing practitioners told us the lease only has sixety three years and thus requires a lease extension. Do 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?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Hertford and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has recommended a much higher premium. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?
