  • I invested in buying a studio flat in Seaton Sluice. The lease started in 1998 for 99 years. Now I am looking to extend the lease. I am in the dark about additional expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?

  • I am looking to either purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Seaton Sluice and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £4k to extend the lease. I will be doing a get a new mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd to release of equity. My adviser handling the remortgage suggested I get two quotes : one for the lease extension and one for the freehold acquisition .The lease started in 1991 and since then the ground rent has been raised from £15.00 per annum to £125 per annum.
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Seaton Sluice. The lease has just 76 years unexpired and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the vendor? To add to the complexity the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My wife and I had entered into a purchase of a one bedroom apartment in Seaton Sluice. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (fivety eight years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The flat owner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the flat owner wishes to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my lawyers failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • I have a leasehold property in Seaton Sluice with fivety eight years unexpired on the lease. I am looking for a property lawyers to act for me to achieve a lease extension. Can you assist?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Seaton Sluice and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has suggested a much higher premium. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to incur?
