South Lambeth Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • We agreed with the landlord to a lease extension on our flat based in South Lambeth, 9k for a further 90yrs. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • I am looking for a lease extension on the lease on my maisonette in South Lambeth which will have fivety seven years remaining in August. What fees do you charge for this?
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in South Lambeth but I'm concerned 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 Coventry Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • I bought a one bedroom apartment in South Lambeth. The start date for the lease was in 1991 for 99 years. Now I am wanting to extend the lease. I am uncertain about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • I am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two apartments. I reside in the upper flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 58 years. What are my next steps?
  • Me and my wife are acquiring a garden flat in South Lambeth which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner 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 to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • Me and my OH are hoping to purchase a home (a studio flat located inSouth Lambeth with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum 83 years left. We found a place we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our informed us the lease only has sixety nine years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and base the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest this course of action?
  • I am planning on refinancing my one bedroom apartment in South Lambeth and the new lender that I am looking to move to needs at least 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. We currently have around 74 years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
