So this is the scenario: I bought a garden flat in St Andrews that I am now unable to sell due to the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your legal fee ?
I own a property in St Andrews and it has circa 63 years left. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
I'm planning to make an offer on a house in St Andrews but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Virgin Money giving us the mortgage now?
We are in a block containing four flats in St Andrews and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in St Andrews, where the lease is circa sixety eight years but she was advised by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been told the current owner was holding off for her to instruct lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds devious, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
My mortgage lender is requesting several hundred pounds for their lawyers to agree a lease extension for my flat in St Andrews... I can find no reference of this in my mortgage contract... is this a standard fee to pay?
We are considering buying a studio flat in St Andrews which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from extending the lease?
My property lawyers (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?
We are in the throws of buying a flat (a maisonette located inSt Andrews with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 83 years outstanding. We found a flat we liked and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our lawyers told us the lease only has seventy two years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we walk 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?
We have a maisonette in St Andrews with a lease of 77 years left with a value of around £290000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
