Common questions relating to Norbiton Lease Extensions

  • I own a leasehold flat in the Norbiton area and was enquiring whether I could obtain a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has 64 years left
  • I want to buy a leasehold property and lease extension. The vendor has been there for four years and will sign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • I am looking to buy a maisonette in Norbiton with a lease of 74 years but have no idea what I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • My co-lessees and I are in a building of five flats in Norbiton and have been offered to buy the freehold for £6000 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 Norbiton are 101 years from 12 Sep 1980. Please give me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more specifics please?
  • I own a leasehold flat in Norbiton. I have built a large extension and have not informed the leaseholder. What should I do?
  • I will soon view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 59 years residual lease term on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Norbiton for asking price of 156k, which has 65 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 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?
  • My conveyancers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • We are in the throws of buying a property (a one bedroom apartment located inNorbiton with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years left on the lease. We found a place we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancing practitioners informed us the lease only has 73 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
