South Norwood Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • Hi, I just randomly found your website. I'm seeking prices on what a lease extension will cost for a garden flat in South Norwood. It's up for sale at the moment but has approximately fivety five years outstanding on the lease
  • 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?
  • I have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in South Norwood. His solicitors has been in contact regarding charges etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started January 1994.
  • The intention is to sell our three bed flat in South Norwood but we may require a lease extension, or at least cover the costs of our purchaser. Can you recommend a solicitors to undertake the legal formalities?

  • 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?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in South Norwood. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much are the legal fees for a lease extension on a residential property in South Norwood for a two bed flat - sec 42 having been issued?
  • We currently own a one bedroom apartment in South Norwood 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 fivety six 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. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
