Common questions relating to Sneyd Park Lease Extensions

  • I’m seeking a lease extension for our flat in Sneyd Park and we are confused by the letter that we got from our freehold company. Are you willing to assist us with this situation?
  • I need to extend my existing lease can you help me with that? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has 74 years left
  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Sneyd Park but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Skipton Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • 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?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • It says on your website the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the HMLR fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my 2 bed flat in Sneyd Park
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Sneyd Park where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • My and my partner are concerned about seeking a lease extension from tricky landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to get ground rent of £200 doubling every twenty years of the new lease. Can you help?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Sneyd Park as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Sneyd Park with 82yrs remaining)
