  • Hi. I need a conveyancing practitioners to review my lease extension ahead of it being completed just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few small amendments.
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium valued. The flat is in Richmond Upon Thames, and my lease will reach fivety four years this October. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the LVT court?
  • My neighbours and I are in a block containing four flats in Richmond Upon Thames 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 have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Richmond Upon Thames, where the lease is around 61 years but she was told by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the vendor was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are three apartments in the house. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. Are you able to assist us with this situation?
  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my three bed flat in Richmond Upon Thames. I have 69 yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my property lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to the tribunal etc)?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Richmond Upon Thames. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Richmond Upon Thames where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to incur?
