Virginia Water Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I’m seeking a lease extension for our apartment located in Virginia Water and we are confused by the communication that we received from our freehold company. What's your legal fee?
  • My name´s Andrew. I’m house hunting in Virginia Water I'm considering offering on a three bed flat online, with around sixety seven years remaining, how much will it likely cost to get a lease extension by, say, 45 years?
  • I have an interest in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of 8 flats each. Two of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm wondering about the procedure for this
  • I am about to put an offer in on a garden flat in Virginia Water with a lease of sixety six years but unsure how much I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I am the owner of a maisonnette together with the freehold. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I am going to purchase a flat in Virginia Water. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The current owner’s has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Barclays . Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I own a share of the freehold. There are five flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now requiring lease extensions. What's your solicitors fee?
  • My partner and I had entered into a purchase of a garden flat in Virginia Water. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (seventy years unexpired lease 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 flat owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the flat owner intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
  • Just been over two years that I have been in my garden flat in Virginia Water. I have 72 years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to the tribunal etc)?
  • I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Virginia Water. I occupy in the upper flat. I was reviewing the land registry documents yesterday when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is sixety six years unexpired. If I want to do a lease extension then would I just be paying for the charges?
