Common questions relating to Stanley Lease Extensions

  • I want to buy a leasehold property and extend the lease. The homeowner has been there for three years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • Is it possible to talk with you about a flat in Stanley, I am considering buying at auction next month. The flat only has a few years unexpired lease and I wanted to inquire about what it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have just over seventy two years outstanding on my lease on a two bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Stanley. I have called the agent who act on behalf of the landlord and they provided me with the number for the surveyor. I telephone the surveyor but I am not receiving any returned calls.
  • My mortgage provider requires a £500 fee for their lawyers for a "deed of substituted security" for the lease extension for my flat in Stanley... I can find no reference of this in my mortgage booklet... is this a normal cost that they charge?
  • We are looking to extend our lease having owned the flat for two years as of 11th March 2016. It has roughly sixety nine years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by way of an additional 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as possible.
  • I am planning to get a lease extension and am wondering which step I have to do first, I have been previously told that I have to have the finances in place before I set the ball rolling, is this correct?

  • My father has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Stanley. House split into three apartments. He has a lease, which has approximately 75 years left. How much would it cost for a lease extension and how many years would he need to extend by?
  • My and my partner know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest such a course of action?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Stanley as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
