  • Do you only do lease extensions in Heswall? I own a flat in Abbey Wood with 90 years left, I am looking for a quote from a solicitors.
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in Heswall, and the tenants are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I should hopefully get the money within a month or so. As I am not on self assessment do I write to the Inland Revenue ?
  • I am considering buying an auction property and came upon a studio flat in Heswall. It only has a 50 year lease..the seller as mortgagees in possession dont want to mess around with seeking a lease extension..what are the drawbacks of this except for the expensive fee to extend the lease and reduced chance of getting a mortgage with Barclays ?
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are five apartments in the building. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. Are you willing to assist us with this situation?
  • My brother and I are considering buying a ground floor flat in Heswall which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from extending the lease?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Heswall for asking price of 125k, which has 72 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. 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 Victorian property split into two apartments. I reside in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 60 years. What are my next steps?
