  • How much will I need to spend and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have just over sixety two years left on my lease on a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Victoria Dock. I have called the agent who represent the freeholder and they gave me the number of the valuer. I have contacted the surveyor but I am not getting any returned calls.
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Victoria Dock for asking price of 145k, which has seventy three 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 question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • We are are hoping to complete on a garden flat in Victoria Dock which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I'm looking for some help concerning a lease extension on my apartment. The intention is to do this in nine months time as we must move 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. Do I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
