Frequently asked questions relating to Silsworth Lease Extensions

  • I am looking for lease extension for our two bed flat in Silsworth and we are confused by the letter that we received from our landlord company. What's your legal fee?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my garden flat in Silsworth. I have 59 yrs remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to LVT)?
