Frequently asked questions relating to Llanbrynmair Lease Extensions

  • 40k agreed with the landlord, just trying to find a Llanbrynmair conveyancing practitioners for a lease extension. Our lease has just under 73 yearsremaining. How long will this take ?
  • I'm looking for an apartment to purchase in Llanbrynmair and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold title. I've identified a maisonette I like with a 90 years lease. My research reveals that I can apply for a lease extension after 2 years, but:- Should I anticipate any issue with the mortgage?
  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy three years remaining 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 the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Llanbrynmair for asking price of 125k, which has 61 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • My lawyers (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?
  • I am the freeholder of a Georgian property split into two flats. I live in the upper flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 78 years. What are my next steps?
  • Just been over two years that I have been in my three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Llanbrynmair. I have fivety six yrs remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my property lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: Is there a benefit in getting a Llanbrynmair based solicitors or any will do fine?
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my ground floor flat in Llanbrynmair
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to extending the lease on my maisonette. The intention is to do this in nine months time as we must move 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 LVT route. Do I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Llanbrynmair 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?
