Recently asked questions relating to Rogerstone Lease Extensions

  • My fiance agreed with the freeholder to a lease extension on our flat in Rogerstone, 18.5k for a further 90yrs. Can you please guide us with this situation ?
  • 35k agreed with the freeholder, just attempting to find a Rogerstone for a lease extension. Our lease has just over 71 yrsoutstanding. How long will this take ?
  • I am about to view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety eight years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Rogerstone. The lease has only seventy one years left and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 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 achievable but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • Coming up to 2 years that I have been in my studio flat in Rogerstone. I have 71 yrs remaining on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • Me and my sister are buying a studio flat in Rogerstone which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we must be patient pending registration of the new lease?

  • I have a lease of 76 years remaining on my flat in Rogerstone. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
