Little Haven Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I inherited a property in Little Haven and it has roughly 64 years remaining. I'd like to extend the lease period
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Little Haven but I'm concerned 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 Birmingham Midshires giving us the mortgage now?
  • I am concerned that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a ground floor flat in Little Haven, where the lease is roughly 79 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the owner was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it may take months to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My husband and I are considering buying a maisonette in Little Haven which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and prevent me from extending the lease?
  • I own 50% in a shared ownership property with a housing association and I am considering a lease extension on a lease which is now around 71 years. I need a solicitors at my end. Can you advise please? I live near Little Haven and have a mortgage with Bank of Scotland.
  • I'm living at mother and father but have a garden flat in Little Haven let out which has a 55 year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Little Haven for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 19k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Little Haven where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has recommended a much higher figure. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • My brother is concerned about getting a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Regardless of the fact that the legal procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the landlord still attempted to get ground rent of £250 doubling every twenty five years of the new lease. Can you help?
  • I am planning on refinancing my garden flat in Little Haven and the bank that I am looking to move to requires at least 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. We currently have around 78 years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
