Newark on Trent Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • Hello. I need someone to have a look at my lease extension before it's formalised just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few small amendments.
  • 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 have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Newark on Trent. His property lawyers has been in contact with fees etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started August 1986.
  • I plan on buying a flat in Newark on Trent. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The flat owner’s property lawyers has served 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 Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • Possibly made a mistake, I am searching for a property lawyers in Newark on Trent who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise in relation to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?
  • My partner and I have a first floor flat in Newark on Trent with 76 years unexpired. Last year we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for a further thirty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to £300 per annum..plus a premium I think of about 16k. We have now decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • My husband and I have a one bedroom flat in Newark on Trent. There is 80 years unexpired on the lease and we want to extend the lease. What will it likely cost to extend in this location by, say,25 years
  • I own a purpose-built flat in a small development in Newark on Trent. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 99 year lease started on 11th January 1972 with a set yearly rent of 20. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Is it possible for me to call someone to go through my options please?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Glasgow but the flat in question is based in Newark on Trent. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Newark on Trent 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?
