Mossley Hill Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I’m just looking for a one bedroom apartment to purchase in the Mossley Hill area and was curious what the likely fees would be for a lease extension? It has 56 years unexpired...
  • I purchased a flat in Mossley Hill with a leasehold unexpired about sixety six years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next stages
  • I am looking at investing in a holiday home but it has a lease that expires in eighteen years. Its in Mossley Hill - I wanted to see if with your services it is possible for this to be extended?
  • I want to buy a leasehold property and extend the lease. The owner has been there for four 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 ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years remaining so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 twenty years without the house being ours. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • I am the owner of a maisonnette and the freehold. The owners of the upstairs flat have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I will soon view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy four years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in Mossley Hill, and the lessees are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I anticipate receiving funds within a month or so. How does the tax work, the property is in joint names with my husband ?
  • Offer accepted on a a maisonette in Mossley Hill, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer in writing through the post which states the lease as 82 years.Contracts were due to be exchanged in a couple of days. My query is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • 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?
