Top Ten Questions relating to Kingston Vale Lease Extensions

  • We agreed with the head landlord for a lease extension on our flat located in Kingston Vale, 13.5k for a further 90yrs. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Kingston Vale with a leasehold unexpired of 72 years. I am curious about how much I will need to spend to extend my lease
  • I'm thinking of purchasing a one bedroom apartment (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for circa 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to purchase the reversionary title or to get a lease extension and apply for right to manage?
  • My neighbours and I are in a building made up four flats in Kingston Vale and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • I'm looking for an apartment to buy in Kingston Vale and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold tenure. I've identified a maisonette I like with a 87 years lease. My research reveals that I can apply for a lease extension having owned the property for 2 years, but:- Should I anticipate any issue with the mortgage?
  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. 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 repo so I'm guessing that the lender 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 have owned a leasehold flat for approximately fifteen years. There are sixety six years outstanding on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • I'm intent on purchasing a flat in Kingston Vale at a price of £210,000 the flat has approximately 77 years remaining on the lease. I put in an offer subject to the lease being renewed... .. that was back in August, expecting I'd be in before Christmas. The seller has just informed the agent that they are prepared to knock £5k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • We know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you suggest this course of action?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my ground floor flat in Kingston Vale. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions?
