Recently asked questions relating to Ulverston Lease Extensions

  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Ulverston but I'm concerned 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 Lloyds TSB Bank giving us the mortgage now?
  • My neighbours and I are in a building of five flats in Ulverston and have been offered to buy the freehold for 8k per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?

  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have slightly more than seventy four years remaining on my lease on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Ulverston.

  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Ulverston, where the lease is slightly less fivety five years but she was advised by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the vendor was holding off for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • We wish to extend our lease having owned the apartment for two years as of 13th Jan 2015. It has just over seventy three years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • We currently own a ground floor flat in Ulverston 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 seven years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?

  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Ulverston. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
