Norwich Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • My wife has a flat based in Norwich which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has slightly more than seventy two years left on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I need to extend my existing lease can you help me with that? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has sixety six years left
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Norwich but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Yorkshire Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • I own a one bedroom apartment based in Norwich with a leasehold unexpired of 74 years. I am wondering about how much I will need to spend to extend my leasehold
  • I am the owner of a maisonnette together with the freehold reversion. My upstairs neighbours have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I am in need of a lease extension for my flat in Norwich and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • My OH and I have owned a leasehold flat for about fifteen years. It now has seventy one years remaining on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • I note that your website states the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including vat and the HMLR fee? The price has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Norwich
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord was amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you suggest such a course of action?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Norwich. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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 tribunal route. Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions?
