Peacehaven Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I’m just looking for a studio flat to purchase in the Peacehaven area and was after more information on what the likely fees would be to extend a lease? It has 58 years outstanding...
  • My neighbours and I are in a block consisting of four flats in Peacehaven and have been offered to buy the freehold for 5k per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • I purchased a maisonette in Peacehaven. I am looking for a lease extension on the property. It is about eighty years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Peacehaven. The lease has only fivety seven years remaining and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 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 legal but will it be very time consuming to the seller? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • We have a first floor flat in Peacehaven with 59 years unexpired. Last year we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for a further thirty years but also increase ground rent from nominal to £200 per annum..plus a premium I think of approximately 14k. We have now decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four apartments in the building. All the leaseholders are now requiring lease extensions. What's your legal fee?
  • I am interested in getting my lease extended and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • Just a quick one, how much is the premium payable for a lease extension on a residential property in Peacehaven for a three bed flat - sec 42 is already served?
  • I require an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a two bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Peacehaven. She recently got a figure from the landlord for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is too expensive.
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my 2 bed flat in Peacehaven
