Top Ten Questions relating to Stockbridge Village Lease Extensions

  • My OH agreed with the freeholder to a lease extension on our flat in Stockbridge Village, 20.5k for an additional 90yrs. What's your legal fee ?
  • Me and my OH have just completed on a garden flat based inStockbridge Village and I'm deliberating a lease extension as soon as possible e.g. after 24 months of ownership
  • Last year I purchased a leasehold apartment in Stockbridge Village. I have built a huge extension and have not informed the leaseholder. What are my options?
  • My partner and I have a GFF located in Stockbridge Village. There is 81 years unexpired on the lease and we want to extend the lease. How much does it cost on average to extend in this area by, say,25 years
  • We had entered into a purchase of a studio flat in Stockbridge Village. I was assured that the lease had been extended (seventy six years unexpired lease prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller supposedly has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the owner wants to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my conveyancing practitioners didn't pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My solicitors (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'm looking at purchasing a flat in Stockbridge Village valued at £210,000 the flat has something like 64 years left on the lease. I put in an offer subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd be in by Christmas. They have just come back saying they'll reduce the price by£2k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend this course of action?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Stockbridge Village with 82yrs remaining)
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Stockbridge Village. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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. Can you recommend a good lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
