Frequently asked questions relating to Vauxhall Lease Extensions

  • I inherited a flat in Vauxhall with a leasehold unexpired just over 78 years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next steps

  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
  • I'm thinking of purchasing a one bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette (leasehold) but the freeholder has been missing for just over 15yrs. My query is would it be cheaper to try to buy the reversionary title or to extend lease and apply for RTM?

  • We are the registered owners of a leasehold with a freeholder who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Vauxhall and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • My brother and I are proceeding with buying a ground floor flat in Vauxhall. I was told that the lease had been lengthened (seventy nine years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The homeowner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the owner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my conveyancing practitioners failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • I an interested in finding out more about leasehold property buying. We are going to buy a 1920s detached house which is leasehold property is there any problem involved or hidden costs. Is it safe to buy a leasehold house in Vauxhall area with a loft extension..We are really concerned as we are first time buyers...Please advise if we want to sublet the property?
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
