St Nicholas Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • I'm considering buying a garden flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been absent for just under 15yrs. My query is would it be less expensive to try to acquire the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • Possibly made an error, I am actually looking for a conveyancers in St Nicholas who has Leasehold Tribunal expertise when it comes to lease extensions. Is this something you can help me with?

  • My leasehold flat in St Nicholas is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is eighty one years to run on the lease and I want a lease extension. How much will it likely cost to extend in this location by, say,35 years
  • 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?
  • I'm living with my parents but have a studio flat in St Nicholas let out which has a 71 year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in St Nicholas for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 21k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • We have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our studio flat in St Nicholas. We have a seventy six year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has provided us with a premium amount that he 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 conveyancers 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 St Nicholas and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
  • My wife and I are concerned about getting a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Even though the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the landlord still attempted to get ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new lease. Can you help?
  • We currently own a ground floor 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 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
