Common questions relating to St Luke's Lease Extensions

  • My wife and I have just acquired a maisonette inSt Luke's and I'm thinking about extending the lease as soon as practicable e.g. in 24 months of ownership
  • I inherited a three bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in St Luke's. The start date for the lease was in 1998 for 99 years. Now I am wanting to extend the lease. I am in the dark about additional expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • Possibly made a mistake, I am actually looking for a conveyancing practitioners in St Luke's who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Are you able to help me with?
  • I have a leasehold apartment in St Luke's. I have built a huge extension and have not informed the leaseholder. What are my options?
  • We are looking to extend our lease. We will have been in the apartment for two years as of 1st May 2016. It has slightly more than fivety five years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My OH and I are proceeding with buying a 2 bed flat in St Luke's. I was assured that the lease had been lengthened (seventy years left prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The vendor supposedly has a quote but no money to extend as a result the owner intends to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. My question is why has this only just been brought to my attention by my solicitors?
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in St Luke's
  • Me and my fiance are are hoping to complete on a garden flat in St Luke's which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I am planning on refinancing my studio flat in St Luke's and the next lender that I am looking to switch to needs a minimum 85 years remaining on the lease in order for them to progress matters. I have discovered that I currently have around sixety seven years on the leasehold so require some advice, guidance, and some quotes to get the wheels in motion for a lease extension
  • We currently own a studio flat in St Luke's and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has sixety six years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
