  • I acquired a garden flat in Prescot and Knowlsey. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is nearing eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Prescot and Knowlsey. The lease has just seventy nine years left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two 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 current owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We have a ground floor flat in Prescot and Knowlsey with 55 years unexpired. Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for a further 25 years but also increase ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of about 14k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • 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?
  • I note that your website states the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bed flat in Prescot and Knowlsey
