New Waltham Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I own a leasehold flat in the New Waltham area and was wondering whether I could get a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. There are 77 years remaining
  • I am looking for a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I intend to purchase. It has sixety years left.
  • I have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in New Waltham. Her conveyancers has been in contact regarding fees etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started October 1990.
  • My neighbours and I are in a building consisting of four flats in New Waltham and have been offered to buy the freehold for 7k 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 apartment in New Waltham are 101 years from 12 Sep 1989. Can you give me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more specifics please?
  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have slightly more than 65 years remaining on my lease on a garden flat in New Waltham. I have emailed the managing agents who represent the freeholder and they gave me the number of the valuer. I telephone the surveyor but I am not getting any returned calls.
  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my ground floor flat in New Waltham. I have 72 years left on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 350K, 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: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to the tribunal etc)?
  • Me and my sister are purchasing a 2 bed flat in New Waltham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I have 77 years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in New Waltham, the Landlord requires a £25k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is acceptable
