Common questions relating to Onslow Village Lease Extensions

  • So this is the scenario: I bought a studio flat in Onslow Village that I am now unable to sell due to the lease needing a lease extension. How long will it take ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years residual lease term 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 25 years without the house being ours. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?

  • Just been over two years that I have owned my studio flat in Onslow Village. I have 70 yrs left on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
  • My brother and I are in the throws of buying a flat (a maisonette based inOnslow Village with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 84 years left on the lease. We identified a flat we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our conveyancers informed us the lease only has 68 years and thus requires a lease extension. Do we run away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • We know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you recommend this course of action?

I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good conveyancing practitioners who specialises in lease extensions?
