Top Ten Questions relating to Isleworth Lease Extensions

  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years left so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any advice would be much appreciated.
  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold of both flats. My upstairs neighbours have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I am thinking about whether to purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Isleworth and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £3k to extend the lease. I plan to simultaneously refinance with The Royal Bank of Scotland to free up equity. My broker dealing with the remortgage suggested I get two estimates : one to extend the lease and one for the freehold purchase .The lease started in 1979 and since then the ground rent has been raised from £38.00 per year to £125 per annum.
  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a three bed flat in Isleworth, where the lease is approximately 60 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the owner was waiting for her to retain lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it may take time to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My son has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Isleworth. House divided into three flats. He has a lease, which has around 70 years remaining. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my ground floor flat in Isleworth I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a premium value that the freeholder has given me. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • We are purchasing a garden flat in Isleworth which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our property lawyers to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much does it cost for a lease extension on a residential property in Isleworth for a two bed flat - section 42 is already in place?
  • I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Isleworth. I occupy in the top flat. I was looking at the title deeds yesterday when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 78 years outstanding. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the conveyancing practitioners charges?
  • I am planning on remortgaging my studio flat in Isleworth and the bank that I am looking to switch to requires a minimum 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to take the mortgage forward. I have found that I currently have around 57 years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
