Stoke Gifford Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I own a maisonnette together with the freehold. My downstairs neighbours have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • My leasehold flat in Stoke Gifford is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is 82 years remaining on the lease and I want to extend the lease. How much will it likely cost to get a lease extension by, say,ninety years
  • I own a purpose-built apartment located in a small block in Stoke Gifford. The leasehold interest in the flat on a 101 year lease which commenced from 21st August 1969 with a set yearly rent of 35. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Can I talk with someone to go through my options please?
  • 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?
  • We would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Stoke Gifford. Would you be able to help?
  • Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my ground floor flat in Stoke Gifford. I have 76 years outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
  • I'm hoping for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette. The intention is to do this next autumn as we must 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 LVT route. Should I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Stoke Gifford 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?
  • I have a lease of fivety eight years remaining on my flat in Stoke Gifford. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Stoke Gifford. 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 who specialises in lease extensions?
