Smethwick Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • My partner has a flat located in Smethwick which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has approximately 78 years remaining on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am after more information on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I need to extend my current lease can you help me with that? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has 63 years remaining
  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and lease extension. The current owner has been there for four years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Smethwick, and my lease will reach sixety two years this April. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain an appraisal? Also, do you represent your clients at the Tribunal court?
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Smethwick, where the lease is about fivety seven years but she was informed by the estate agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the vendor was holding off for her to appoint conveyancers before commencing with the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • My brother and I are considering buying a garden flat in Smethwick which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?
  • My husband and I are proceeding with buying a maisonette in Smethwick. I was assured that the lease had been extended (66 years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the current owner wishes to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my solicitors didn't spot this far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My wife and I would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Smethwick. Would you be able to help?
  • I am the registered freeholder of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Smethwick. I live in the top flat. I was reviewing the title deeds recently when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 64 years left on the lease. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors fees?
  • I am currently in the process of remortgaging my one bedroom apartment in Smethwick and the mortgage company that I am looking to switch to requires a minimum 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. We currently have around 77 years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
