Frequently asked questions relating to Heston Lease Extensions
We bought a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to give us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Heston and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can handle for us?
I need to talk to you about a flat in Heston, I am thinking of buying at auction in the next few days. The flat has a short lease and I was wondering about what it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Heston, where the lease is nearon 67 years but she was informed by the selling agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the vendor was holding off for her to instruct lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

I intend to buy a one bed flat in Heston for asking price of 156k, which has 66 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
My lawyers (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 am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two apartments. I live in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 75 years. What are my next steps?
My brother and I would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Heston. Would you be able to help?
If somebody owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
I own the freehold reversion of a property in Heston and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has put forward a much higher premium. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
