  • I have an interest in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of seven flats each. Two of the leaseholders want to extend their leases and I'm enquiring about the procedure for this
  • 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?
  • I own a studio flat in Kendal. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is circa eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.
  • I'm looking for an apartment to buy in Kendal and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold tenure. I've identified a maisonette I like with a 87 years lease. I've read that I can get a lease extension after a couple of years, but:- Is this a given?
  • I will soon view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy eight years left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming 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 am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Kendal. The lease has only 68 years residual lease term and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My wife and I are proceeding with buying a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Kendal. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (seventy years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The vendor supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the seller intends to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • I am currently in the process of refinancing my one bedroom apartment in Kendal and the bank that I am looking to switch to requires at least 85 years remaining on the lease in order for them to take the mortgage forward. I have discovered that I currently have around seventy nine years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
