  • Coming up to 2 years that I have been in my one bed flat in Machen. I have seventy two yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to LVT)?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Machen 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?
  • We have a maisonette in Machen with a lease of 65 years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
