Top Ten Questions relating to Pattingham Lease Extensions

  • I have an interest in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of 8 flats each. Two of the leasehold owners want to extend their leases and I'm curious about the the process

  • I plan on buying a flat located in Pattingham. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The flat owner’s has served the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Clydesdale. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my studio flat in Pattingham, and would like some figures on that.
  • I own a maisonette in Pattingham. I am looking for a lease extension on the property. It is approaching eighty years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Pattingham for asking price of 125k, which has 65 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Me and my sister would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Pattingham. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Pattingham. I reside in the upper flat. I was reviewing the land registry documents recently when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 60 years left. If I want a lease extension then would I just be paying for the fees?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Pattingham and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has recommended a much higher amount. 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 fee would I be likely to face?
