Frequently asked questions relating to St Werburghs Lease Extensions

  • I’m just looking for a three bed flat to buy in the St Werburghs area and was curious how much would it cost for a lease extension? It has 77 years remaining...
  • Hello, I stumbled across your website. I'm looking for prices on what it cost to extend a lease of a studio flat located in St Werburghs. It's on the market at the moment but has around sixety eight years outstanding on the lease
  • I am looking for a rough estimate of what a lease extension will cost for a flat I intend to buy. It has fivety six years left.
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 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 the house being ours. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
  • My neighbours and I are in a building containing four flats in St Werburghs and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • We are the registered owners of a leasehold with a landlord who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in St Werburghs and are therefore deliberating the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?
  • My husband and I had entered into a purchase of a one bed flat in St Werburghs. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (seventy seven years left prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the seller wants to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my maisonette in St Werburghs I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a quote from the freeholder. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost excluding vat and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my three bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in St Werburghs
  • I have a lease of sixety six years remaining on my flat in St Werburghs. 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?
