We agreed with the landlord to a lease extension on our flat based in Swanland, 14.5k for a further 90yrs. Can you please help us with this situation ?
I have been in touch with my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Swanland. Her lawyers has been in contact concerning fees etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started April 1984.
My co-lessees and I are in a building made up four flats in Swanland and have been offered to buy the freehold for £6000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
I will soon view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy seven years residual lease term on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the lender will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Swanland for asking price of 125k, which has 79 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
My solicitors (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?
We have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. It now has 63 years unexpired lease on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome some independent thoughts.
If somebody owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
I'm seeking some help concerning a lease extension on my maisonette. I'll be looking 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. You are able to recommend a good lawyers with expertise in lease extensions. Preferably based in Swanland?
I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my ground floor flat in Swanland. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
