Thrapston Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I am looking at investing in a second home but it has a lease that expires in eighteen years. Its in Thrapston - I wanted to see if with your services this could be extended?
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Thrapston but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Barnsley Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • Hi. I need someone to review my lease extension ahead of it being formalised just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a reissue with a few minor changes.
  • My husband and I had entered into a purchase of a maisonette in Thrapston. I was assured that the lease had been extended (fivety six years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend as a result the homeowner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?

The Freeholder has given us with a premium amount that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a solicitors to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • We are in the throws of buying a property (a one bedroom apartment based inThrapston with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least eighty five years outstanding. We came across a place we liked and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our property lawyers told us the lease only has fivety six years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Thrapston and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer 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 deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • I am worried about seeking a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were followed under the appropriate legislation, the freeholder still attempted to get ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new lease. Can you assist?
