Pentyrch Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I’m about to offer on a one bedroom apartment to buy in the Pentyrch area and was interested in finding out what the likely fees would be for a lease extension? It has 58 years left...
  • I need to extend my current lease can you help me with that? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has 55 years outstanding
  • I am looking for a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I intend to purchase. It has 57 years unexpired.
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are three flats in the house. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. What's your legal fee?
  • My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • Me and my husband would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Pentyrch. Is this something you can help us with?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Pentyrch. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1889. Its the rear garden.
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • It says on your website the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding value added tax and the HMLR fee? The price has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Pentyrch
  • I have a lease of seventy six years remaining on my flat in Pentyrch. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
