  • I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Southbourne. Her lawyers has been in contact with charges etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started March 1990.
  • I plan on buying a flat based in Southbourne. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The current owner’s conveyancers has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender TSB. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • Offer accepted on a a maisonette in Southbourne, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer sent through which states the lease as 82 years.We are about to exchange contracts in a couple of days. My query is Should I tell the homeowner that I will only proceed with the purchase (at the same price) on the condition they carry out a lease extension?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • My fiance and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our maisonette in Southbourne. We have a 71 year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has given us with a premium amount that she is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a conveyancing practitioners to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on our behalf.
  • I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Southbourne. I live in the upper flat. I was looking at the title deeds yesterday when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 79 years outstanding. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors costs?
  • I have 63 years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Southbourne, the Landlord requires a £15k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is acceptable
