Frequently asked questions relating to Plumstead Lease Extensions

  • I have just acquired a three bed conversion flat based inPlumstead and I'm considering a lease extension as soon as I can e.g. after two years
  • I own a maisonnette together with the freehold reversion. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I have been in touch with my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Plumstead. Her has been in contact with charges etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started April 1987.
  • I am the registered owner of a maisonette in Plumstead. The lease started in 2001 for 99 years. Now I am wanting to extend the lease. I am unclear about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Plumstead. The lease has just 79 years remaining and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the vendor? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • 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?
  • We currently own a maisonette in Plumstead 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 three years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k 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?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my garden flat in Plumstead
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Plumstead with 82yrs remaining)
  • I have a lease of 78 years remaining on my flat in Plumstead. 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?
