  • I agreed with the head landlord for a lease extension on our flat in North Shields and Tynemouth, 6k for an additional 90yrs. What's your legal fee ?
  • My partner has an apartment in North Shields and Tynemouth which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has approximately 57 years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am interested in more information on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • Hello. I need someone to review my lease extension prior to it being signed just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few small changes.
  • I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in North Shields and Tynemouth. Her property lawyers has been in contact regarding costs etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started August 1992.
  • My neighbours and I are in a building consisting of three flats in North Shields and Tynemouth and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 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?
  • We are considering purchasing a studio flat in North Shields and Tynemouth which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what happens when lease expires, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and prevent me from extending the lease?
  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a maisonette in North Shields and Tynemouth. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (seventy two years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the homeowner wants to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my property lawyers failed to spot this far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My solicitors (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?
  • Just been over two years that I have owned my garden flat in North Shields and Tynemouth. I have sixety four yrs remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 450k. 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 goes to the tribunal etc)?
  • My husband and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our garden flat in North Shields and Tynemouth. We have a sixety nine year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has supplied us with a financial figure that she is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a lawyers to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
