Lewisham Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • My OH and I are looking for lease extension for our garden flat located in Lewisham and we are confused by the letter that we got from our landlord company. What's your solicitors fee?
  • My partner has a flat based in Lewisham which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has around seventy one 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'm planning to make an offer on a house in Lewisham but I'm a little worried 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 The Mortgage Works giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years unexpired so a lease extension is not required. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Lewisham. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The flat owner’s lawyers has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I own a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Lewisham. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is nearing eighty years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a ground floor flat in Lewisham, where the lease is nearly 65 years but she was told by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the flat owner was waiting for her to retain lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I own a purpose-built apartment in a small development in Lewisham. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 101 year lease which commenced on 11th October 1980 with a fixed yearly rent of 35. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Can I call someone to discuss my options please?
  • I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Lewisham. I live in the top flat. I was reviewing the land registry documents last night when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 78 years balance left. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors fees?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Lewisham and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
