Top Ten Questions relating to Ravenglass Lease Extensions

  • The intention is to sell our 2 bed flat in Ravenglass but we may require a lease extension, or possibly cover the expense of our buyers. Can you help me find someone to undertake the legal formalities?
  • We are in a block of three flats in Ravenglass and have been offered to buy the freehold for 7k 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'm looking for an apartment to purchase in Ravenglass and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold title. I've found a garden flat I like with a 90 years lease. I've read that I can go for a lease extension having owned the property for 2 years, but:- Should I be looking at some conditions that would prevent me for getting a lease extension?
  • Ref a property in Ravenglass. GFF maisonette. 57 yrs unexpired. I have negotiated a lease extension price of £12,000 for 115yrs. Landlord also requested Initial Notice which I think is a tad over the top. Can you assist.
  • I own a purpose-built flat based in a large development in Ravenglass. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 99 year lease which commenced from 11th October 1970 with a fixed ground rent of £15 per annum. I wish to obtain a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to discuss my options please?
  • My property lawyers (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 am concerned about obtaining a lease extension from tricky landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the landlord still tried to get ground rent of £200 increasing by 100% every 25 years of the new term. Can you help?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Ravenglass 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 77 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Ravenglass as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
