Common questions relating to Ruislip Manor Lease Extensions

  • I'm considering buying a one bedroom apartment (leasehold) but the landlord has been absent for just over 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to buy the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • The terms for the lease on my flat in Ruislip Manor are 95 years from 14 Jan 1988. Please give me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more specifics please?
  • My mortgage lender requires a £450 fee for their to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in Ruislip Manor... I am unable to find any reference of this in my mortgage booklet... is this a normal cost that they charge?
  • My husband and I have a ground floor flat in Ruislip Manor with 65 years remaining. Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for a further 25 years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of about 16k. We have now decided to move forward but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • 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?
  • My husband and I are purchasing a maisonette in Ruislip Manor which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem 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 right that we have to be patient pending registration of the new lease?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a three bed flat in Ruislip Manor. She already has a figure from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is too high.
  • I am planning on refinancing my garden flat in Ruislip Manor and the mortgage company that I am looking to switch to needs at least 80 years remaining on the lease in order for them to progress matters. I have discovered that I currently have around 77 years on the leasehold so require some advice, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
  • We currently own a one bed flat in Ruislip Manor and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy four years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Ruislip Manor as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
