Recently asked questions relating to Swanage Lease Extensions
Hello. I need a solicitors to have a look at my lease extension prior to it being completed just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a reissue with a few small variations.
We have a first floor flat in Swanage with seventy seven years remaining. Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for another thirty years but also increase ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of about 10k. We have now decided to go ahead but do we now have to renegotiate?
My husband and I are proceeding with a purchase of a maisonette in Swanage. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (74 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The vendor supposedly has a quote but no money to extend as a result the seller wants to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Barclays won't lend on a lease?
My 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?

It says on your website the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including value added tax and the land registry fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Swanage
I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Swanage. I occupy in the upper flat. I was reviewing the land registry documents last night when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is seventy five years residual lease term. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors fees?
