Kenton Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I bought a property in Kenton and it has nearly sixety four years remaining. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • I need to extend my current lease can you assist? I think it has fivety eight years outstanding
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Kenton but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Barclays Direct giving us the mortgage now?
  • 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 acquired a garden flat in Kenton. I am looking for a lease extension on the property. It is just under eighty years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I will soon view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my dream 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 64 years remaining on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • We are hoping to acquire a home (a ground floor flat located inKenton with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 84 years residual lease term. We came across a place we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our advised us the lease only has 58 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my studio flat in Kenton
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Kenton with 82yrs remaining)
  • I have a lease of 62 years remaining on my flat in Kenton. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
