Frequently asked questions relating to Hethersett Lease Extensions

  • My name´s Dexter. I’m property hunting in Hethersett I'm seeing a one bedroom apartment online, with slightly more 56 years outstanding, how much does it cost on average to extend in this location by, say, thirty years?
  • I bought a property in Hethersett and it has slightly more than 56 years unexpired. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • I want to acquire a leasehold property and extend the lease. The flat owner has been there over 2 years and will sign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • I am about to put an offer in on a one bedroom apartment in Hethersett with a lease of sixety eight years but have no idea what I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I am looking to either purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Hethersett and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £2500 to extend the lease. I will be doing a remortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd to release of equity. My broker dealing with the remortgage suggested I get two quotes : one for the lease extension and one for the freehold purchase .The lease commenced in 1981 and since then the ground rent has increased from £25.00 per annum to £100 per annum.
  • I will soon view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy one years left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Hethersett for asking price of 145k, which has 67 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?
  • I am looking for advice as I am interested in a property that has only a 63 year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Can I talk with someone to go through my options please?
  • 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?
  • We have a garden flat in Hethersett with a lease of fivety six years left with a value of around £410000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
