  • Me and my OH are considering buying a garden flat in The Ridgeway which is a leasehold.

  • We would like to extend our lease. We will have been in the flat for two years as of 22nd May 2015. It has roughly 55 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as quickly and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • I am the freeholder of a property in The Ridgeway and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has recommended a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • We currently own a studio flat in The Ridgeway and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy three years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in The Ridgeway as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
  • I have a lease of 75 years remaining on my flat in The Ridgeway. 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?
