I bought a maisonette located in Narberth with a leasehold unexpired of seventy eight years. I am enquiring about how much it will cost me to extend my lease
I plan on buying a flat located in Narberth. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The current owner’s solicitors has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Nottingham Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Narberth. The lease has only 69 years residual lease term and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.
I am planning to get a lease extension and am wondering which step I have to do first, I have been previously advised that I have to have the finances in place before I commence the process, is this correct?
Just been over 2 years that I have been in my 2 bed flat in Narberth. I have sixety six yrs left on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
If somebody 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 doing it?
My OH and I are purchasing a two bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Narberth which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner 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 conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. 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 must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
We know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend such a course of action?
