Common questions relating to Mousehole Lease Extensions

  • I am in need of a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I would like to buy. It has 75 years outstanding.
  • I am looking for a property lawyers in Mousehole and they should be on the Bank of Scotland approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and refinance at the same time. Can you recommend any please ?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a building containing three flats in Mousehole and have been offered to buy the freehold for £3,500 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • We invested in buying a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Mousehole and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Mousehole, where the lease is about seventy six years but she was informed by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 125 years. She has now been advised the owner was waiting for her to instruct conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds devious, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I am considering acquiring an auction property and found a one bed flat in Mousehole. It has just 50 year lease..the seller being mortgagees in possession will not want the aggravation of negotiating a lease extension..what are the disadvantages of this other than the expensive fee to extend the lease and reduced chance of getting a mortgage with Clydesdale?
  • Me and my husband are considering buying a ground floor flat in Mousehole which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • Me and my OH are hoping to buy a home (a maisonette based inMousehole with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least eighty five years left on the lease. We identified a place we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our conveyancing practitioners informed us the lease only has 71 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or do we reduce our offer?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my maisonette in Mousehole
