  • I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Kettering. Her conveyancers has been in contact with costs etc. I need a ball park figure for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension.

  • I invested in buying a garden flat in Kettering. The start date for the lease was in 1998 for 99 years. Now I am wanting to extend the lease. I am unclear about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • We are proceeding with buying a three bed flat in Kettering. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (68 years left 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 apparently has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the seller wishes to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • I'm living at mum and dad but have a garden flat in Kettering let out which has a seventy three year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Kettering for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 21k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Kettering and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has suggested a much higher amount. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • I require an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a maisonette in Kettering. She recently got a figure from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too expensive.

I have discovered that I currently have around sixety five years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
