Frequently asked questions relating to Pantymwyn Lease Extensions

  • I am interested in getting a lease extension for a flat in Pantymwyn and want to use a local conveyancers. Is there a conveyancing practitioners that you can recommend?
  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Pantymwyn 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 Aldermore giving us the mortgage now?
  • 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?
  • I'm planning on buying a studio flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for about 15yrs. My query is would it be cheaper to try to purchase the reversionary title or to get a lease extension and apply for right to manage?
  • We purchased a leasehold with a freeholder who has failed to give us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Pantymwyn and are therefore considering the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can handle for us?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Pantymwyn for asking price of 156k, which has sixety one 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?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately twenty years. It now has 76 years outstanding on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my solicitors and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to LVT and would appreciate advice.
  • My brother and I are acquiring a one bedroom apartment in Pantymwyn which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Pantymwyn. I live in the top flat. I was looking at the land registry documents today when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 70 years unexpired. Is it possible to carry out a lease extension without instructing a conveyancing practitioners?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Pantymwyn and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy two years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
