Top Ten Questions relating to Tewkesbury Lease Extensions

  • I am considering investing in a holiday home but it has a lease that expires in 14 years. Its in Tewkesbury - I wanted to see if with your services this could be extended?
  • 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?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for around eighteen years. It now has fivety nine years unexpired lease on the lease. Following a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
  • I am hoping to extend the lease on my garden flat in Tewkesbury I am looking for a local company to calculate the premium. I have a premium value that the freeholder has given me. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • I own 50% in a shared ownership property with a housing association and I am considering a lease extension on a lease which is now around 62 years. I need a at my end. Can you advise please? I live near Tewkesbury and have a mortgage with Halifax.

  • Me and my sister are purchasing a maisonette in Tewkesbury which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • We have a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Tewkesbury with a lease of 71 years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
  • I have a lease of 68 years remaining on my flat in Tewkesbury. 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?
