Frequently asked questions relating to Pembroke Dock Lease Extensions

  • I am looking for a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I would like to buy. It has sixety three years left.
  • 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 am going to purchase a flat in Pembroke Dock. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The vendor’s property lawyers has given to the freeholder 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 Halifax. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a building consisting of four flats in Pembroke Dock and have been offered to buy the freehold for £3,500 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 will soon view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 71 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
