  • Me and my sister are considering purchasing a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in St Nicholas which is a leasehold.

  • I am hoping to extend the lease on my studio flat in St Nicholas I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a quote from the landlord. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • I have a flat in St Nicholas with sixety four years unexpired on the lease. I need a property lawyers to act for me to get a lease extension. Can you help?
  • Me and my fiance are purchasing a one bed flat in St Nicholas which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • We currently own a one bed flat in St Nicholas 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 seventy three 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. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in St Nicholas with 82yrs remaining)
  • I have a lease of seventy four years remaining on my flat in St Nicholas. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in St Nicholas. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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 tribunal route. Can you recommend a good solicitors who specialises in lease extensions?
