Stokenchurch Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I agreed with the landlord to a lease extension on our flat in Stokenchurch, 11.5k for a further 90yrs. How long is the process ?
  • So this is the scenario: I own a garden flat in Stokenchurch that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease needing a lease extension. How long will it take ?
  • Hello, I am looking somewhere around or in Stokenchurch 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the correct site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years balance left so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • I am looking for a conveyancers in Stokenchurch and they need to be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and remortgage at the same time. Can you recommend a solicitors ?
  • 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?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my maisonette in Stokenchurch, and would like some figures on that.
  • I have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Stokenchurch, where the lease is about sixety five years but she was told by the estate agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the flat owner was holding off for her to retain solicitors prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • We have a residential flat in Stokenchurch with 65 years to run. Last year we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for another thirty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to £200 per year..plus a premium I think of about 9k. We have now decided to go ahead but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • Me and my husband are buying a garden flat in Stokenchurch which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our conveyancers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
