FAQs concerning Leeds Lease Extensions

  • My wife has an apartment located in Leeds which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has slightly more than 73 years left on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.

  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Leeds, where the lease is about 70 years but she was informed by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the seller was waiting for her to retain solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • My and my partner are worried about getting a lease extension from an objectionable freeholder. Regardless of the fact that the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still tried to get ground rent of £200 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new lease. Can you help?
