  • I have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a studio flat in Rumney, where the lease is slightly more fivety eight years but she was told by the estate agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been advised the vendor was waiting for her to instruct lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Sounds devious, also it may take time to sort it all out. What do you think?

My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

  • I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Rumney. I live in the upper flat. I was reviewing the title deeds yesterday when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is seventy two years left on the lease. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the costs?
  • I'm looking for some advice concerning extending the lease on my flat. I'll be looking to do this in nine months time as we need to 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 tribunal route. Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions. Ideally based in Rumney?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Rumney 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 79 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do 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 Rumney 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?
