  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold of both flats. My upstairs neighbours have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Selby. Her conveyancing practitioners has been in contact concerning fees etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started January 1993.
  • I plan on buying a flat in Selby. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The homeowner’s conveyancers has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Coventry Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I purchased a one bedroom apartment in Selby. I am looking for a lease extension on the property. It is nearing eighty years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Selby. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1889. Its the rear garden.
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my three bed flat in Selby. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
