Frequently asked questions relating to North Cheam Lease Extensions

  • I’ve just purchased a ground floor flat based inNorth Cheam and I'm thinking about extending the lease as soon as possible e.g. after two years
  • I am in need of a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I intend to buy. It has sixety eight years residual lease term.
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium valued. The flat is in North Cheam, and my lease will reach sixety five years this April. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the LVT court?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in North Cheam. The lease has just seventy six years residual lease term and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the seller? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in North Cheam. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1854. Its the rear garden.
  • I own the freehold of a three bedroom flat in North Cheam. The leaseholders have seventy four years on a lease and wants to purchase another 90 years. The have offered me 19k. Is this around the right price?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to extending the lease on my flat. The intention is to do this sometime next year as we must move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the LVT route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in North Cheam 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?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in North Cheam with 82yrs remaining)
  • I have a lease of seventy seven years remaining on my flat in North Cheam. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
