  • My name´s Lucas. I’m flat hunting in Northwood I'm seeing a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette online, with about 56 years unexpired lease, how much does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say, 25 years?
  • I think our solicitors has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to find out how to complain
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years left so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Northwood. Her conveyancing practitioners has been in contact concerning charges etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started December 1987.
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are three flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. Are you able to assist us with this situation?
  • 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?
  • I'm living with my mother and father but have a garden flat in Northwood let out which has a fivety four year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Northwood for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 13k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Northwood. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1854. Its the rear garden.
  • Hello I own the freehold interest in a 2 bedroom flat in Northwood. The leaseholder has a fivety seven year lease and would like to purchase another 90 years. She is offering me £21,000 but I am unsure if this is a correct amount
