Common questions relating to South Cave Lease Extensions

  • I have an interest in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of seven flats each. 2 of the leasehold owners want a lease extension and I'm curious about the the process
  • Possibly made a mistake, I am seeking a solicitors in South Cave who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in South Cave. The lease has just 61 years outstanding and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We would like to extend our lease. We will have been in the apartment for two years as of 1st May 2016. It has around 71 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as quickly and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My lawyers (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?
  • I do not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to buy in South Cave. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1854. Its the garden area.
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including vat and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my two bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in South Cave
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in South Cave and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has suggested a much higher premium. 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 handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
  • We currently own a garden flat in South Cave and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy eight years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom apartment in South Cave. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
