FAQs concerning Tadcaster Lease Extensions

  • My wife has an apartment in Tadcaster which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has about 61 years left on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years balance left so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Tadcaster. The lease has just seventy three years unexpired and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign 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 achievable but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • We are considering buying a garden flat in Tadcaster which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what happens when lease expires, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • My (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 was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my maisonette in Tadcaster

  • I have a lease of 58 years remaining on my flat in Tadcaster. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
