Common questions relating to Stoke Poges Lease Extensions

  • My partner has a flat located in Stoke Poges which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has nearly 68 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 commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I am looking to extend the lease on my three bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Stoke Poges which will have 73 years remaining in September. What fees are applicable?
  • 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 broker dealing with the remortgage suggested I get two estimates : one for the lease extension and one for outright acquisition .The lease started in 1979 and since then the ground rent has been raised from £15.00 per year to £125 per year.
  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have roughly sixety eight years remaining on my lease on a one bed flat in Stoke Poges.

I am wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and prevent me from extending the lease?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Stoke Poges for asking price of 145k, which has fivety eight years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. 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?
