Recently asked questions relating to Mansfield Woodhouse Lease Extensions

  • I agreed with the freeholder to a lease extension on our flat located in Mansfield Woodhouse, 15k for an additional 90yrs. Can you please help us with this situation ?
  • I bought a maisonette based in Mansfield Woodhouse with a leasehold unexpired of seventy eight years. I am enquiring about how much it will cost me to extend my leasehold
  • 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?
  • In 2012 I purchased a leasehold flat in Mansfield Woodhouse. I have built a huge extension and have not informed my freeholder. What should I do?
  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bed flat in Mansfield Woodhouse, where the lease is around sixety two years but she was informed by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the owner was holding off for her to instruct conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I am seeking advice as I am interested in a property that has only a sixety nine year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to discuss my options please?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • I am the registered freeholder of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Mansfield Woodhouse. I occupy in the upper flat. I was reviewing the title deeds last night when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is seventy five years outstanding. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the conveyancing practitioners fees?
  • I require an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a garden flat in Mansfield Woodhouse. She recently got a price from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am not sure it is too expensive.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Mansfield Woodhouse 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?
