  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my ground floor flat in Sneyd Green. I have sixety two years left on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • My husband and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our studio flat in Sneyd Green. We have a seventy six year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has given us with a premium amount that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a property lawyers to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on our behalf.
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Sneyd Green and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has recommended a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
