FAQs concerning Sunbury Lease Extensions

  • I am looking for a lawyers in Sunbury and they should be on the Bank of Scotland approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and remortgage at the same time. Are you able to recommend any please ?
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four apartments in the house. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. Are you willing to help us with this situation?
  • We are considering purchasing a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Sunbury which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from extending the lease?
  • We wish to extend our lease having owned the flat for 2 years as of 6th May 2016. It has just under seventy seven years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My fiance and I had entered into buying a ground floor flat in Sunbury. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (55 years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The homeowner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the flat owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • I am in need of a lease extension for my flat in Sunbury and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my maisonette in Sunbury I am looking for help to verify the premium. I have a price from the freeholder. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the HMLR fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my studio flat in Sunbury
  • I have a lease of 79 years remaining on my flat in Sunbury. 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?
