  • My name´s Logan. I’m house hunting in Nether Stowey I'm deliberating offering on a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat online, with approximately seventy two years unexpired lease, how much does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say, 35 years?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years balance left 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 information would be much appreciated.

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Nether Stowey where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Nether Stowey as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?

Can you recommend a good conveyancing practitioners who specialises in lease extensions?
