Top Ten Questions relating to Virginia Water Lease Extensions

  • I want to acquire a leasehold property and lease extension. The flat owner has been there for four years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a block made up three flats in Virginia Water and have been offered to buy the freehold for 5k 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?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Virginia Water. The lease has just seventy three years left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time consuming to the homeowner? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My mortgage provider requires a £600 fee for their solicitors for a "deed of substituted security" for the lease extension for my flat in Virginia Water... I can find no reference of this in my mortgage contract... is this a usual charge?
  • I am a freeholder of a block of flats in Virginia Water, and the lessees are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I should hopefully get funds next week. Are there any tax implications, the property is co-owned with my husband ?
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are three flats in the house. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. What's your solicitors fee?
  • My conveyancers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
