St Davids Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • 20,000 agreed with the landlord’s agents, just attempting to find a St Davids for a lease extension. Our lease has circa 75 yearsleft. Can you please help us with this situation ?

  • Do you only handle lease extensions in St Davids? I own a flat in Abbey Wood with 90 years outstanding, I am looking for a quote from a .
  • I plan on buying a flat in St Davids. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The vendor’s has served the Notice of Claim. 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 Aldermore. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I'm deliberating over purchasing a one bedroom apartment (leasehold) but the freeholder has been missing for circa 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be cheaper to try to purchase the reversionary title or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • My mortgage lender requires a £600 fee for their to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in St Davids... I am unable to find any reference of this in my mortgage guide... is this a usual fee to pay?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in St Davids for asking price of 145k, which has 72 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. My question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • I own a purpose-built apartment based in a small development in St Davids. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 99 year lease which commenced from 30th October 1970 with a non-reviewable yearly rent of 35. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Can I call someone to go through my options please?
  • My (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 dad has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in St Davids. House converted into three flats. He has a lease, which has about 56 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?
