FAQs concerning Thornaby Lease Extensions

  • Hello. I need someone to review my lease extension prior to it being signed just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor variations.
  • I invested in buying a two bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette located in Thornaby with a leasehold unexpired of sixety seven years. I am curious about what I will need to spend to extend my lease term
  • 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 am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my studio flat in Thornaby, and would like some figures on that.
  • I'm looking for a flat to buy in Thornaby and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold arrangement. I've identified a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat I like with a 87 years lease. I've read that I can get a lease extension after a couple of years, but:- Is this a given?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Thornaby for asking price of 145k, which has sixety eight 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 landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Hi I am the freeholder title in a 3 bedroom flat in Thornaby. The leaseholder has a sixety eight year lease and would like to purchase another 90 years. She is offering me £21,000 but I am unsure if this is too low an offer
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a one bedroom apartment in Thornaby. She already has a figure from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am far from certain if it is reasonable.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Thornaby 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?
