Recently asked questions relating to Rogerstone Lease Extensions

  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and extend the lease. The owner has been there for four 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 ?
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Rogerstone. The lease has only 72 years residual lease term and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two 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 consuming to the homeowner? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Rogerstone and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor 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 deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
