Recently asked questions relating to Splott Lease Extensions

  • I am the registered owner of a flat in Splott with a leasehold unexpired around sixety seven years and need to extend it. Please can you clarify the next steps
  • I have contacted my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Splott. His solicitors has been in contact with fees 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 May 199.
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Splott. The lease has only 66 years unexpired and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this 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 owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in Splott, and the leaseholders are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I should hopefully get the money next month. How does the tax work, the property is in joint names with my wife ?
  • Me and my wife have owned a leasehold flat for approximately fifteen years. It now has 71 years outstanding on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my conveyancing practitioners and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • Just been over two years that I have owned my one bedroom apartment in Splott. I have 68 years remaining on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: Is there a benefit in getting a Splott based conveyancing practitioners or any will do fine?
  • Just a quick one, how much are the legal fees for a lease extension on a residential property in Splott for a two bed flat - sec 42 is already in place?
  • Me and my partner are in the throws of buying a flat (a garden flat inSplott with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum eighty five years left. We found a flat we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our conveyancers informed us the lease only has seventy seven 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 own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Splott. I reside in the upper flat. I was looking at the land registry documents recently when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is sixety six years left on the lease. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors charges?
  • I'm hoping for some help concerning extending the lease on my maisonette. I'll be looking to do this next autumn as we need to move 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 LVT route. Do I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
