Frequently asked questions relating to Manor House Lease Extensions

  • 35k agreed with the landlord, just seeking to find a Manor House for a lease extension. Our flat has just under sixety two yrsoutstanding. How long will this take ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

  • I am about to view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 69 years remaining on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • My mortgage lender requires several hundred pounds for their to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in Manor House... I can find no mention of this in my mortgage contract... is this a normal charge?
  • 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?
  • My nephew has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Manor House. House split into three flats. He has a lease, which has just under 62 years unexpired lease. How much would it cost for a lease extension and how many years would he need to extend by?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Manor House where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to incur?
