  • Re a property in Scarborough. GFF maisonette. 54 yrs remaining. I have negotiated a lease extension price of £14k for 115yrs. Landlord also insisted on Notice of Claim which I think is a bit over the top. Advice required.

  • My lawyers (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 and my husband are worried about seeking a lease extension from tricky freeholder. Even though the correct procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the landlord still tried to charge ground rent of £300 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new term. Can you help?
  • I am planning on refinancing my garden flat in Scarborough and the mortgage company that I am looking to move to requires at least 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. We currently have around 76 years on the leasehold so require some help, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Scarborough 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?
