  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Long Eaton. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The current owner’s solicitors has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. 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 Coventry Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am about to view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 56 years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Long Eaton. The lease has only sixety one years balance left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time consuming to the homeowner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • 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 extending the lease?
  • My OH and I are in the throws of buying a property (a maisonette located inLong Eaton with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least ninety years left. We identified a place we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our lawyers advised us the lease only has 60 years and thus requires a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • My aunt is worried about getting a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the landlord still tried to get ground rent of £200 doubling every twenty five years of the new term. Can you help?
