Top Ten Questions relating to Seascale Lease Extensions

  • Hi, I am looking somewhere around or in Seascale 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the correct site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of six flats each. Two of the leasehold owners want a lease extension and I'm curious about the the process
  • My partner has an apartment based in Seascale which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has approximately seventy five years unexpired on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am after more information on how we get started on a lease extension? Thank you.
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Seascale, and my lease will reach sixety years this June. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain an appraisal? Also, do you represent your clients at the Tribunal court?
  • I acquired a 2 bed flat in Seascale. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is about 80 years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Seascale. The lease has only 65 years unexpired and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the vendor? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My solicitors (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 do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Seascale. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1854. Its the rear garden.
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • I have 62 years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Seascale, the Landlord requires a £15k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is reasonable
