Stevenage Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • Hello, I am looking somewhere around or in Stevenage 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the right site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • I need to extend my current lease can you assist? I think it has 64 years unexpired
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?

My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • My wife and I have owned a leasehold flat for approximately twenty years. It now has 69 years left on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my conveyancers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my ground floor flat in Stevenage I am looking for help to verify the premium. I have a price from the landlord. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the HMLR fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Stevenage
  • I am worried about seeking a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Even though the legal procedures were followed under the appropriate legislation, the freeholder still tried to charge ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every twenty five years of the new term. Can you assist?
