Frequently asked questions relating to Messingham Lease Extensions

  • I bought a property in Messingham and it has around fivety four years outstanding. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • I want to buy a leasehold property and lease extension. The current owner has been there over 2 years and will sign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • I am interested in getting my lease extended and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • 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 in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Dublin but the property in question is based in Messingham. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • Me and my husband have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our garden flat in Messingham. We have a 66 year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has supplied 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 lawyers to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • My fiance and I are buying a three bed flat in Messingham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer 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 house buying process is for our solicitors to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Messingham. She recently got a price from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too high.
  • We currently own a studio flat in Messingham and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 61 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I have 61 years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Messingham, the Landlord requires a £15k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is acceptable
