  • 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 am planning to get a lease extension and am wondering which step I have to do first, I have been previously told that I have to have the finances in place before I set the ball rolling, is this correct?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Springwell for asking price of 145k, which has sixety eight years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller.

  • We have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our one bed flat in Springwell. We have a 67 year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has provided 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 lawyers to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Springwell where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has recommended a much higher premium. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Springwell as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
