Frequently asked questions relating to Llanfyrnach Lease Extensions

  • So this is the scenario: I acquired a studio flat in Llanfyrnach that I am now unable to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your legal fee ?
  • I’m just looking for a one bed apartment to purchase in the Llanfyrnach area and was interested in finding out what the likely fees would be for a lease extension? It has fivety five years residual lease term...
  • I have shares in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of seven flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm wondering about the procedure for this
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 twenty years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I plan on buying a flat based in Llanfyrnach. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The vendor’s has served the Notice of Claim. 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 Chelsea Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • Me and my sister are proceeding with buying a garden flat in Llanfyrnach. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (63 years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The homeowner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the flat owner intends to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • My (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?
  • It says on your website the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension 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 garden flat in Llanfyrnach
  • My father is concerned about obtaining a lease extension from an objectionable landlord. Regardless of the fact that the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the landlord still attempted to get ground rent of £200 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new lease. Can you help?
