Common questions relating to Leeswood Lease Extensions

  • I own a property in Leeswood and it has just over sixety five years residual lease term. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • I need to extend my current lease can you help me with that? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has 70 years left
  • My neighbours and I are in a building containing three flats in Leeswood and have been offered to buy the freehold for 7k 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?
  • My mortgage lender is requesting a £600 fee for their conveyancing practitioners to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in Leeswood... I am unable to find any mention of this in my mortgage literature... is this a normal cost that they charge?
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are three flats in the house. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. What's your legal fee?
  • My OH and I had entered into buying a 2 bed flat in Leeswood. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety four years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The vendor apparently has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the flat owner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Belfast but the flat in question is based in Leeswood. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • My fiance and I are purchasing a one bedroom apartment in Leeswood which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we must hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette in Leeswood. 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. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
