St Pancras Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • We agreed with the freeholder to a lease extension on our flat in St Pancras, 20k for an additional 90yrs. How long is the process ?
  • My name´s Leo. I’m house hunting in St Pancras I'm thinking about offering on a three bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette online, with around 66 years unexpired lease, how much does it cost on average to extend in this location by, say, 35 years?
  • I bought a flat in St Pancras with a leasehold unexpired nearon sixety six years and need a lease extension. Please can you advise me of the next steps
  • I have got a leasehold flat in the St Pancras area and was wondering if I could obtain a lease extension. What are your processes and fees. There are fivety four years balance left
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years remaining so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in St Pancras are 95 years from 1 Feb 1990. Can you provide me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more information please?
  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have about seventy eight years outstanding on my lease on a studio flat in St Pancras. I have emailed the managing agents who represent the freeholder and they provided me with the number for the surveyor. I left a phone message for the surveyor but I am not getting any kind of reaction.
  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my two bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in St Pancras. I have sixety two yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: Is there a benefit in getting a St Pancras based or any will do fine?
  • I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in St Pancras. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1854. Its the garden area.
  • We are purchasing a garden flat in St Pancras which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
