  • I need to extend my current lease can you assist? I think it has fivety seven years remaining
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Llanfyllin. The lease has just sixety eight years outstanding and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I own a purpose-built apartment located in a small development in Llanfyllin. The leasehold interest in the flat on a 99 year lease which commenced on 21st January 1972 with a set ground rent of £15 per annum. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Can I call someone to go through my options please?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • Me and my sister have owned a leasehold flat for about twenty years. There are seventy years left on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • I am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two apartments. I reside in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 62 years. What are my next steps?
  • I am concerned about getting a lease extension from a difficult freeholder. Even though the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the landlord still tried to charge ground rent of £250 doubling every 25 years of the new term. Can you help?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Llanfyllin 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?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my 2 bed flat in Llanfyllin. 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. Can you recommend a good property lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
