Limbury Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • 35k agreed with the landlord, just trying to find a Limbury conveyancers for a lease extension. Our lease has slightly more 69 yrsoutstanding. How long will this take ?
  • I am in need of a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I intend to purchase. It has 77 years unexpired.
  • I will soon view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety nine years balance left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • My flat in Limbury is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is 79 years to run on the lease and I want a lease extension. How much will it likely cost to get a lease extension by, say,twenty years
  • My husband and I had entered into a purchase of a garden flat in Limbury. I was advised that the lease had been extended (sixety eight years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The homeowner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the seller intends to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Virgin Money won't lend on a lease?
  • I am seeking advice as I am interested in a property that has only a sixety four year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to go through my options please?
  • It says on your website the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Limbury
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Limbury and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. 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 face?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Limbury 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 sixety nine years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Limbury as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
