Higham Ferrers Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • So this is the scenario: I inherited a studio flat in Higham Ferrers that I am finding difficult to sell due to the lease needing a lease extension. How long will it take ?
  • 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?
  • We acquired a leasehold with a freeholder who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Higham Ferrers and are therefore thinking about the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I am looking to either purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Higham Ferrers and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £3k to extend the lease. I plan to simultaneously refinance with Skipton Building Society to free up equity. The broker handling the remortgage suggested I get two estimates : one for the lease extension and one for outright purchase .The lease commenced in 1972 and since then the ground rent has increased from £38.00 per year to £300 per annum.
  • My mortgage lender requires a £450 fee for their conveyancing practitioners for a "deed of substituted security" for the lease extension for my flat in Higham Ferrers... I can find no reference of this in my mortgage contract... is this a normal cost that they charge?
  • My solicitors (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 1930’s property split into two apartments. I live in the upper flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current seventy eight years. What are my next steps?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Higham Ferrers. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1854. Its the garden area.
  • I am the registered freeholder of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Higham Ferrers. I live in the top flat.
