  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Kenley for asking price of 125k, which has sixety nine 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 question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I note that your website states the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding value added tax and the land registry fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my ground floor flat in Kenley
  • We are in the throws of buying a property (a one bed flat located inKenley with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least ninety years balance left. We came across a flat we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our solicitors advised us the lease only has 64 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or do we negotiate our offer?
  • We currently own a three bed flat in Kenley and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 67 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
