Examples of recent questions relating to Lease Extensions in Sketty

  • I’ve just purchased a studio flat based inSketty and I'm deliberating a lease extension as soon as possible e.g. after a couple of years
  • Hi. I need someone to review my lease extension before it's formalised just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a reissue with a few minor changes.
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold reversion. My upstairs neighbours have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I bought a three bed flat in Sketty. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is nearly eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.
  • I am looking to either purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Sketty and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £2500 to extend the lease. I plan to simultaneously get a new mortgage with Barclays Direct to release of equity. My broker handling the remortgage suggested I get two quotes : one to extend the lease and one for outright acquisition .The lease began in 1979 and since then the ground rent has increased from £15.00 per annum to £125 per year.
  • 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?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a studio flat in Sketty. She recently got a price from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is too high.
  • We have a garden flat in Sketty with a lease of 73 years left with a value of around £290000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
  • I have a lease of 57 years remaining on my flat in Sketty. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
