Silsworth Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I’m just looking for a garden flat to purchase in the Silsworth area and was enquiring what the likely fees would be for a lease extension? It has sixety seven years residual lease term...
  • I want to acquire a leasehold property and extend the lease. The current owner has been there for four years and will sign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • I have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Silsworth. Her property lawyers has been in contact regarding costs etc. I need a ball park figure for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started December 1990.
  • My neighbours and I are in a block comprising five flats in Silsworth and have been offered to buy the freehold for 5k 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?
  • My partner and I have a residential flat in Silsworth with 71 years left. Last year we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for another thirty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to £300 per year..plus a premium I think of about 16k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • I am planning to get a lease extension and am wondering what step I have to do first, I have been previously told that I have to have the finances in place before I commence the process, is this correct?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • My dad has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Silsworth. House divided into three apartments. He has a lease, which has slightly less than 66 years unexpired lease. How much would it cost for a lease extension and how many years would he need to extend by?
  • Me and my wife have owned a leasehold flat for about fifteen years. It now has seventy four years remaining on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
  • I own 70% in a shared ownership property with a housing association and I am considering a lease extension on a lease which is now around sixety seven years. I need a solicitors at my end. Can you advise please? I live near Silsworth and have a mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd.
