Common questions relating to Shirebrook Lease Extensions

  • I am considering whether to purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Shirebrook and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £4k to extend the lease. I plan to simultaneously remortgage with Skipton Building Society to free up equity.

  • I will soon view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy nine years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the lender will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Shirebrook. The lease has only seventy eight years balance left and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 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 may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the vendor? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
