  • I am considering whether to purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Loddon and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £3k to extend the lease. I will be doing a remortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank to free up equity.

  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Loddon for asking price of 156k, which has seventy three 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 question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost excluding value added tax and the land registry fee?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Loddon 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?
