Soham Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • My fiance and I have just bought a 2 bed apartment based inSoham and I'm considering extending the lease as soon as possible e.g. after 24 months of ownership
  • I'm planning on buying a maisonette (leasehold) but the landlord has been absent for around 15yrs. My query is would it be less expensive to try to purchase the reversionary title or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my studio flat in Soham, and would like some figures on that.
  • I am a landlord of a block of flats in Soham, and the leaseholders are in the process of being granted lease extensions. I should hopefully get funds next month. Are there any tax implications, the property is co-owned with my wife ?
  • We are considering buying a ground floor flat in Soham which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease expires, 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?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Soham for asking price of 145k, which has seventy three years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • It says on your website the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my studio flat in Soham
  • We are are hoping to complete on a one bedroom apartment in Soham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Soham. I reside in the upper flat. I was reviewing the land registry documents last night when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is sixety one years left on the lease. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the conveyancing practitioners costs?
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you suggest such a course of action?
