Recently asked questions relating to Rolleston On Dove Lease Extensions

  • I am looking to extend the lease on my one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Rolleston On Dove which will have 78 years unexpired lease in September. What fees are applicable?
  • I am considering investing in a second home but it has a lease that expires in eighteen years. Its in Rolleston On Dove - I wanted to see if with your services it is possible for this to be extended?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years balance left so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • 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?
  • Last year I purchased a leasehold flat in Rolleston On Dove. I have built a large extension and have not informed the leaseholder. What should I do?
  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 57 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • My (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'm intent on buying an apartment in Rolleston On Dove at a price of £195,000 the flat has approximately 54 years left on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in September, hoping I'd have moved in before now. They have just informed the agent they are willing to reduce the price by£7k if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
