FAQs concerning Kingsbury Lease Extensions

  • Hello, I am looking somewhere around or in Kingsbury 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the correct site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • I have shares in the freehold of buildings comprising of six flats each. Two of the leaseholders want to extend their leases and I'm enquiring about the procedure for this
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Kingsbury but I'm a little worried 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 Norwich and Peterborough Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my GFF in Kingsbury, and would like some figures on that.
  • I am about to view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect 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 57 years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • We wish to extend our lease. We will have been in the flat for 2 years as of 22nd Feb 2015. It has around fivety six years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as quickly and stress free as possible.
  • My wife and I are proceeding with buying a three bed flat in Kingsbury. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (67 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the seller wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
  • I'm living at mother and father but have a one bedroom apartment in Kingsbury 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 Kingsbury 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 19k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Kingsbury where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
