Frequently asked questions relating to Spennymoor Lease Extensions

  • So this is the scenario: I acquired a one bedroom apartment in Spennymoor that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your solicitors fee ?

  • I bought a maisonette in Spennymoor. I am looking for a lease extension on the property. It is around eighty years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.
  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have just under 64 years unexpired lease on my lease on a one bedroom apartment in Spennymoor. I have emailed the managing agents who represent the landlord and they provided me with the number of the valuer. I telephone the valuer but I am not receiving any calls back.
  • We are proceeding with buying a three bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Spennymoor. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (75 years left prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the flat owner intends to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my solicitors failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My solicitors (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 would like some guidance on purchasing a leasehold residence. We are going to buy a 1920s detached house which is leasehold property is there any problem involved or hidden costs. Is it safe to buy a leasehold house in Spennymoor area with a loft extension..We are really concerned as we are first time buyers...Please advise if we want to sublet the property?
  • My father has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Spennymoor. House divided into three apartments. He has a lease, which has slightly more than 59 years remaining. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Dublin but the flat in question is based in Spennymoor. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I am concerned about obtaining a lease extension from an objectionable freeholder. Notwithstanding that the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the landlord still tried to charge ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new term. Can you help?
