Common questions relating to Kingston Park Lease Extensions

  • I’m just looking for a studio flat to buy in the Kingston Park area and was enquiring what the likely fees would be to extend a lease? It has seventy three years residual lease term...
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Kingston Park 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 Coventry Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Kingston Park, and my lease will reach fivety four years this January. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the Tribunal court?
  • I am about to 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 obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 55 years residual lease term on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the lender will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Kingston Park, where the lease is about seventy nine years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the current owner was holding off for her to retain lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it could take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • My apartment in Kingston Park is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is 79 years left on the lease and I want to extend the lease. How much will it likely cost to extend in this area by, say,45 years
  • Offer accepted on a a maisonette in Kingston Park, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer come through which states the lease as 82 years.We are about to exchange contracts in a couple of days. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • My lawyers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • I am hoping to extend the lease on my studio flat in Kingston Park I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a premium value that the freeholder has given me. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • I am the freeholder of a Georgian property split into two apartments. I reside in the upper flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 78 years. What are my next steps?
