  • I have just completed on a studio flat based inSt Werburghs and I'm considering a lease extension as soon as possible e.g. after 24 months of ownership
  • So this is the scenario: I purchased a garden flat in St Werburghs that I am now unable to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. Can you please help me with this situation ?
  • I need to extend my current lease can you assist? I think it has sixety eight years outstanding
  • Do you only undertake lease extensions in St Werburghs? I own a flat in Abbey Wood with 90 years outstanding, I am looking for a quote from a property lawyers.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a garden flat in St Werburghs, where the lease is nearon fivety four years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the homeowner was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in St Werburghs, and the lessees are in the process of being given lease extensions. I anticipate receiving funds within a month or so. Are there any tax implications, the property is in joint names with my partner ?
  • Offer accepted on a a maisonette in St Werburghs, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer come through which states the lease as 82 years.We are soon to exchange contracts within a week. My query is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • We are purchasing a two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in St Werburghs which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner 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 house buying process is for our lawyers 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 has not been issued. Is it right that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I'm looking for some assistance concerning extending the lease on my maisonette. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we must move 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. Should I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in St Werburghs with 82yrs remaining)
