  • I am looking for a conveyancers in Merton and they should be on the HSBC Bank approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and remortgage simultaneously. Can you recommend any please ?
  • I'm deliberating over purchasing a one bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette (leasehold) but the freeholder has been absent for nearon 15yrs. My query is would it be less expensive to try to buy the freehold or to extend lease and apply for right to manage?
  • I own a leasehold apartment in Merton. I have built a large extension and have not informed my freeholder. What should I do?
  • Are you able to advise on how much it would expense and the optimum way to start the lease extension process? I have approximately seventy six years outstanding and I own a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Merton.
  • I am planning to get a lease extension and am wondering which step I have to do first, I have been previously told that I have to have the finances in place before I initiate the process, is this correct?
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my 2 bed flat in Merton I am looking for help to verify the premium. I have a premium value that the freeholder has given me. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Merton. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1854. Its the garden area.
  • Me and my fiance have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Merton. We have a 57 year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has provided us with a financial figure that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a solicitors to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Merton 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?
