Maryland Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • I want to acquire a leasehold property and lease extension. The homeowner has been there for four years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • I'm looking for an apartment to buy in Maryland and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold arrangement. I've found a place I like with a 91 years lease. My research reveals that I can get a lease extension after a couple of years, but:- Should I anticipate any issue with the mortgage?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Maryland. The lease has just 58 years remaining and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the 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 legal but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a maisonette in Maryland, where the lease is just over 74 years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the vendor was holding off for her to instruct conveyancers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it will take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?

  • We are are hoping to complete on a ground floor flat in Maryland which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • We are worried about obtaining a lease extension from an objectionable freeholder. Notwithstanding that the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still tried to charge ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new lease. Can you help?
