  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my ground floor flat in Shepherd's Bush. I have seventy four years left on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to LVT)?
  • My husband and I are buying a garden flat in Shepherd's Bush which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our conveyancers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • Me and my wife are in the throws of buying a property (a garden flat based inShepherd's Bush with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum 83 years remaining. We came across a place we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our conveyancers informed us the lease only has seventy four years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or do we negotiate our offer?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Shepherd's Bush 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?
  • We have a maisonette in Shepherd's Bush with a lease of 54 years left with a value of around £290000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
