FAQs concerning Streatham Lease Extensions

  • I think our conveyancers has advised us incorrectly concerning a lease extension and I would like to know how to complain

  • Hi. I need a lawyers to have a look at my lease extension ahead of it being completed just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a reissue with a few small amendments.
  • 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'm deliberating over purchasing a ground floor flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for approximately 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to acquire the reversionary title or to extend lease and apply for RTM?
  • I own a maisonette in Streatham. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is around 80 years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Streatham, where the lease is about seventy eight years but she was told by the selling agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the vendor was waiting for her to instruct solicitors before commencing with the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I'm living at parents but have a one bedroom apartment in Streatham let out which has a seventy nine year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Streatham for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 19k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Streatham where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • I have a lease of 71 years remaining on my flat in Streatham. 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?
