  • My partner has an apartment based in Stoke Park which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has around 62 years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I need to extend my existing lease can you assist? I think it has 67 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?
  • We are selling our garden flat in Stoke Park but we may need a lease extension, or at least cover the expense of our buyers. Can you recommend someone to help us?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Stoke Park for asking price of 145k, which has sixety nine years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My question 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?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Belfast but the flat in question is based in Stoke Park. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my ground floor flat in Stoke Park
  • My wife and I are acquiring a 2 bed flat in Stoke Park which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • I'm seeking some advice with regard to a lease extension on my flat. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we have 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 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?
