  • My wife and I have a ground floor flat in Mill Hill with fivety eight years remaining. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for a further fifty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to a little more..plus a premium I think of about 9k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • I am in need of a lease extension for my flat in Mill Hill and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • My (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?
  • My wife and I have owned a leasehold flat for approximately eighteen years. It now has seventy two years left on the lease. Following a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • We are buying a ground floor flat in Mill Hill 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 owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our 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 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 must be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Mill Hill and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a one bedroom apartment in Mill Hill. She already has a figure from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am not sure it is reasonable.
