Recently asked questions relating to Sutton Lease Extensions

  • Hi, I just randomly found your site. I'm seeking prices on what a lease extension will cost for a maisonette in Sutton. It's on sale at the moment but has around 63 years outstanding on the lease
  • In 2012 I purchased a leasehold apartment in Sutton. I have built a huge extension and have not informed the freeholder. What are my options?
  • I will soon view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy three years remaining on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Sutton. The lease has just 67 years residual lease term and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time consuming to the seller? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Sutton for asking price of 145k, which has seventy eight 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 query is: If landlord 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?
  • My property lawyers (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 hoping to extend the lease on my studio flat in Sutton I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a premium value that the freeholder has given me. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much does it cost for a lease extension on a residential property in Sutton for a three bed flat - section 42 is already in place?
  • I'm seeking some assistance concerning a lease extension on my apartment. The plan is to do this in nine months time 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 tribunal route. Can you recommend a good conveyancing practitioners with expertise in lease extensions. Preferably based in Sutton?
  • My and my fiance know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you recommend this course of action?
