Stanmore Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • My name´s Harrison. I’m property hunting in Stanmore I'm deliberating offering on a ground floor flat online, with just under 59 years left, how much does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say, fifty years?
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Stanmore but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect HSBC Bank giving us the mortgage now?
  • I bought a one bedroom apartment in Stanmore with a leasehold unexpired of seventy eight years. I am wondering about how much it will cost me to extend my leasehold
  • I am the owner of a maisonnette and the freehold title. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • We are the registered owners of a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to give us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Stanmore and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I will soon view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has sixety two years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • Offer accepted on a a maisonette in Stanmore, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease had over 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer sent through which states the lease as 85 years.Contracts were due to be exchanged within a week. My question is Should I tell the owner that I will only proceed with the purchase (at the same price) on the condition they carry out a lease extension?
  • I'm hoping for some help with regard to extending the lease on my flat. The plan is to do this next summer as we need to 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. You are able to recommend a good with expertise in lease extensions. Preferably someone in Stanmore area?
  • My son is concerned about getting a lease extension from tricky freeholder. Even though the legal procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the landlord still attempted to get ground rent of £300 doubling every twenty years of the new lease. Can you assist?
  • We currently own a maisonette in Stanmore 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 58 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
