Maida Vale Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I have just bought a ground floor flat located inMaida Vale and I'm thinking about extending the lease as soon as I can e.g. in 24 months of ownership
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I'm considering buying a maisonette (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for around 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be cheaper to try to acquire the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • I bought a ground floor flat in Maida Vale. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is roughly eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • In 2010 I purchased a leasehold apartment in Maida Vale. I have built a large extension and have not informed my freeholder. What are my options?
  • I am the owner of a purpose-built apartment located in a large block in Maida Vale. The leasehold interest in the flat on a 101 year lease started from 2nd March 1980 with a non-reviewable yearly rent of 35. I wish to obtain a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to go through my options please?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. There are 67 years outstanding on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my conveyancers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of less than 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?
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Maida Vale
  • I have a flat in Maida Vale with sixety eight years remaining on the lease. I am looking for a lawyers to help me get a lease extension. Can you help?
