Frequently asked questions relating to Roath Park Lease Extensions

  • I’m about to offer on a garden flat to buy in the Roath Park area and was wondering what the likely fees would be to extend a lease? It has 61 years residual lease term...
  • I need to extend my existing lease can you assist? I think it has 70 years outstanding
  • I am interested in getting a lease extension for a flat in Roath Park and want to use a local property lawyers. Are you able to help me find a solicitors?
  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and lease extension. The seller has been there over 2 years and will sign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • My wife and I are considering purchasing a studio flat in Roath Park which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease expires, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • Me and my sister are proceeding with buying a ground floor flat in Roath Park. I was informed that the lease had been lengthened (58 years unexpired lease prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The seller supposedly has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the current owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • My solicitors (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?
  • My father has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Roath Park. House divided into three flats. He has a lease, which has around sixety seven yrs remaining. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 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?
  • I'm looking for some help with regard to extending the lease on my flat. I'll be looking to do this in nine months time as we must move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the LVT route. Can you recommend a good property lawyers who specialises in lease extensions. Preferably based in Roath Park?
