Melbourne Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I am looking for lease extension for our apartment located in Melbourne and we are confused by the communication that we got from our landlord company. What's your legal fee?
  • I agreed with the head landlord for a lease extension on our flat based in Melbourne, 10.5k for another 90yrs. What's your legal fee ?
  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Melbourne but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Birmingham Midshires giving us the mortgage now?
  • We are in a block consisting of five flats in Melbourne and have been offered to buy the freehold for £6000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • We are looking to extend our lease having owned the place for 2 years as of 1st May 2016. It has around 61 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by way of an additional 90 years as quickly and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • I am hoping to extend the lease on my three bed flat in Melbourne I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a quote from the freeholder. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Melbourne
  • I'm intent on buying an apartment in Melbourne valued at £195,000 the flat has just under seventy one years unexpired on the lease. I put in an offer subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd be in by now. The seller has just informed the agent they are willing to knock £3k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • We wanted an estimate on the cost of a lease extension and a few more questions answered regarding a lease extension for my one bedroom apartment in Melbourne
  • I have a lease of seventy two years remaining on my flat in Melbourne. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
