Ryhope Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • My wife agreed with the landlord for a lease extension on our flat in Ryhope, 13k for an extension by 90yrs. How long is the process ?
  • We are in a building made up four flats in Ryhope and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • Think I may have made an error, I am seeking a conveyancers in Ryhope who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?
  • I bought a garden flat in Ryhope. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is nearly eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • Last year I purchased a leasehold apartment in Ryhope. I have built a huge extension and have not informed my freeholder. What should I do?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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 own 60% in a shared ownership property with a housing association and I am considering a lease extension on a lease which is now around 66 years. I need a property lawyers at my end. Can you advise please? I live near Ryhope and have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.
  • I'm looking at purchasing an apartment in Ryhope at a price of £210,000 the flat has approaching sixety nine years left on the lease. My offer was subject to the lease being extended... .. that was back in November, expecting I'd have completed by Christmas. They have just informed the agent they are willing to knock £3k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • Me and my husband are in the throws of buying a home (a maisonette based inRyhope with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years balance left. We found a place we liked and the selling agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our conveyancers advised us the lease only has 74 years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
