Middleton St George Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • Me and my husband are thinking about a lease extension for our ground floor flat based in Middleton St George and we are confused by the letter that we received from our freehold company. What's your solicitors fee?
  • I have shares in the freehold of buildings comprising of six flats each. Two of the leasehold owners want a lease extension and I'm curious about the procedure for this
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I'm deliberating over purchasing a garden flat (leasehold) but the freeholder has been missing for slightly more than 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be cheaper to try to acquire the freehold or to extend lease and apply for RTM?
  • I acquired a ground floor flat in Middleton St George. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is around eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.
  • I have a leasehold apartment in Middleton St George. I have built a big extension and have not informed my leaseholder. What should I do?
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Middleton St George, where the lease is about fivety nine years but she was informed by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the vendor was waiting for her to instruct lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it may take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Middleton St George. I live in the top flat. I was looking at the land registry documents last night when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 55 years balance left. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the costs?
  • My and my husband know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
  • We currently own a three bed flat in Middleton St George 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 fivety six years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
