Newark on Trent Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • Hi, I stumbled upon your website. I'm looking for prices on what it cost to extend a lease of a garden flat in Newark on Trent. It's up for sale at the moment but has just over 59 years of unexpired leasehold
  • My partner has a flat located in Newark on Trent which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has nearly seventy six years unexpired on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am after more information on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Thank you.
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Newark on Trent. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The homeowner’s lawyers 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 Barclays . Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am concerned that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Newark on Trent, where the lease is around seventy years but she was advised by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been told the vendor was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it may take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My mortgage lender is requesting several hundred pounds for their conveyancers for a "deed of substituted security" for the lease extension for my flat in Newark on Trent... I am unable to find any mention of this in my mortgage guide... is this a usual charge?
  • My leasehold flat in Newark on Trent is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is 79 years left on the lease and I want to extend the lease. What does it cost on average to extend in this area by, say,35 years
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Newark on Trent for asking price of 125k, which has sixety eight years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I'm intent on buying an apartment in Newark on Trent at a price of £256,000 the flat has something like 77 years left on the lease. I put in an offer subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in November, hoping I'd have completed by now. The owner has just informed me they'll reduce the price by£7k if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Newark on Trent. I occupy in the upper flat. I was looking at the land registry documents today when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 56 years residual lease term. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors charges?
