We are selling our garden flat in Stevenage but we may require a lease extension, or at least cover the expense of our buyers. Are you able to help me find someone to help us?

I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Stevenage. I am looking for a lease extension on the property. It is around eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.

I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Stevenage. The lease has just 72 years unexpired and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? Unfortunately the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

I have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Stevenage, where the lease is around 55 years but she was told by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the owner was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

Offer accepted on a a ground floor flat in Stevenage, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease had over 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer come 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?

My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?

I note that your website states the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding value added tax and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bedroom apartment in Stevenage
