Frequently asked questions relating to Navenby Lease Extensions

  • I am going to purchase a flat in Navenby. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The 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 Bank of Scotland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a block consisting of five flats in Navenby 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?
  • The terms for the lease on my flat in Navenby are 101 years from 10 Jan 1990. Can you supply me me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more specifics please?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Navenby. The lease has just seventy four years residual lease term and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two 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 is achievable but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am a landlord of a block of flats in Navenby, and the leaseholders are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I anticipate receiving funds next week. Are there any tax implications, the property is in joint names with my wife ?
  • My wife and I are considering buying a ground floor flat in Navenby which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease expires, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Navenby for asking price of 125k, which has 63 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My query is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my 2 bed flat in Navenby. I have 75 years left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my property lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to the tribunal etc)?
  • 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?
  • Just a quick question, how much does it cost for a lease extension on a residential property in Navenby for a two bed flat - sec 42 is already in place?
