Common questions relating to Kirkbymoorside Lease Extensions

  • I’m seeking a lease extension for our flat in Kirkbymoorside and we don't fully comprehend the letter that we received from our freehold company. How long will it take?
  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of 8 flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want to extend their leases and I'm curious about the procedure for this
  • We are in a block comprising four flats in Kirkbymoorside 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 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 Kirkbymoorside, where the lease is around seventy eight years but she was informed by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the homeowner was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it could take months to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My mortgage provider requires several hundred pounds for their lawyers to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in Kirkbymoorside... I am unable to find any mention of this in my mortgage contract... is this a usual cost that they charge?
  • Me and my husband had entered into a purchase of a maisonette in Kirkbymoorside. I was informed that the lease had been extended (fivety eight years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the current owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my conveyancers failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My solicitors (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?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Kirkbymoorside. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1889. Its the rear garden.
  • We currently own a one bedroom apartment in Kirkbymoorside and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 75 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my ground floor flat in Kirkbymoorside. 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 conveyancers who specialises in lease extensions?
