Common questions relating to Sutton Coldfield Lease Extensions

  • My wife has an apartment based in Sutton Coldfield which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has around 64 years residual lease term on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we get started on a lease extension? Thank you.
  • I am looking to extend the lease on my one bedroom apartment in Sutton Coldfield which will have seventy years outstanding in November. What fees are applicable?
  • Is it possible to talk with you about a leasehold property in Sutton Coldfield, I am thinking of bidding at auction next week. The flat has a short lease and I am curious about what it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Sutton Coldfield. The lease has only 55 years remaining and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two year qualifying 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 owner? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have approximately seventy five years unexpired lease on my lease on a studio flat in Sutton Coldfield. I have emailed the agent who act on behalf of the landlord and they provided me with the number of the valuer. I telephone the surveyor but I am not receiving any kind of reaction.
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are three flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. How long will take to get a lease extension?
  • 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?
  • My brother has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Sutton Coldfield. House converted into three flats. He has a lease, which has roughly 65 yrs unexpired lease. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Sutton Coldfield. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Sutton Coldfield where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has put forward a much higher premium. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. 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?
