Thornton Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I purchased a flat in Thornton with a leasehold unexpired nearly 79 years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next steps
  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold of both flats. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I acquired a two bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Thornton. I am looking to extend lease on the property. It is nearon 80 years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long it would take for completion.
  • I will soon view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 69 years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm guessing that the lender will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am a landlord of a block of flats in Thornton, and the leaseholders are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I should hopefully get the money next week. How does the tax work, the property is in joint names with my partner ?
  • I am planning to extend the lease on my garden flat in Thornton I am looking for help to verify 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 am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Edinburgh but the property in question is based in Thornton. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my one bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Thornton. I have 71 years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to LVT)?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Thornton where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • We are worried about obtaining a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Notwithstanding that the legal procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the landlord still attempted to charge ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new lease. Can you assist?
