Sample questions relating to Oakhill Lease Extensions

  • Me and my OH have just purchased a garden flat inOakhill and I'm considering a lease extension as soon as possible e.g. in two years
  • I have an interest in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of seven flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm curious about the procedure for this
  • I need to extend my current lease can you assist? I think it has fivety nine years left
  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Oakhill but I'm a little worried 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 Barnsley Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years remaining 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I own a ground floor flat located in Oakhill with a leasehold unexpired of fivety four years. I am enquiring about what it will cost me to extend my lease term
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • Me and my fiance are acquiring a one bedroom apartment in Oakhill which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our property lawyers to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Oakhill and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
