  • I am deliberating whether to purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Ottershaw and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £2500 to extend the lease. I will be doing a refinance with Barnsley Building Society to release of equity. My broker handling the remortgage suggested I get two estimates : one for the lease extension and one for outright acquisition .The lease commenced in 1981 and since then the ground rent has increased from £15.00 per annum to £200 per year.
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Ottershaw. The lease has just seventy years left and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time consuming to the seller? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Ottershaw for asking price of 125k, which has seventy three years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Ottershaw where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • My and my fiance know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
