Frequently asked questions relating to Symonds Yat Lease Extensions

  • I own a leasehold flat in the Symonds Yat area and was curious if I could obtain a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has 56 years outstanding
  • I have a lease of sixety four years on a property which I am looking to buy how much am I looking at for the cost to extend the lease?
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I need to talk to you about an apartment in Symonds Yat, I am considering buying at auction next week. The flat only has a few years outstanding and I was wondering about how much it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Symonds Yat. The lease has only seventy years residual lease term and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting 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 costly to the owner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • My mortgage lender requires a £500 fee for their conveyancing practitioners to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in Symonds Yat... I am unable to find any mention of this in my mortgage literature... is this a usual fee to pay?
  • We would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Symonds Yat. Is this something you can assist us with?
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of less than 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 hoping for some advice with regard to extending the lease on my flat. I'll be looking to do this in six months time as we need 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. Do I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I require an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a maisonette in Symonds Yat. She recently got a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am not sure it is too high.
