Common questions relating to Shinfield Lease Extensions

  • My wife and I have just acquired a one bed flat located inShinfield and I'm thinking about a lease extension as soon as possible e.g. after two years
  • I inherited a one bed flat in Shinfield that I now cannot sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. Can you please help me with this situation ?
  • I am the owner of a maisonnette together with the freehold. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a block containing three flats in Shinfield and have been offered to buy the freehold for £6000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Shinfield are 95 years from 12 Jan 1980. Please supply me me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more specifics please?
  • I am looking at buying an auction property and identified a two bed flat in Shinfield. It only has a 50 year lease..the vendor being mortgagees in possession will not want to mess around with applying for a lease extension..what are the drawbacks of this except for the expensive fee to extend the lease and decreased chance of obtaining a mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society?
  • Me and my OH are proceeding with a purchase of a one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Shinfield. I was informed that the lease had been extended (76 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The vendor supposedly has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the seller wants to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my solicitors failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My property 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?
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much is the premium payable for a lease extension on a residential property in Shinfield for a two bed flat - section 42 is already served?
  • I am planning on refinancing my one bedroom apartment in Shinfield and the next lender that I am looking to switch to needs at least 85 years remaining on the lease in order for them to progress matters. We currently have around sixety four years on the leasehold so looking for some advice, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
