Common questions relating to Waltham Abbey Lease Extensions

  • We agreed with the landlord for a lease extension on our flat in Waltham Abbey, 16.5k for another 90yrs. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • Hello, I just randomly found this website. I'm seeking prices on what a lease extension will cost for a maisonette located in Waltham Abbey. It's on the market at the moment but has about sixety three years left on the lease
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Waltham Abbey. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The owner’s conveyancing practitioners has served 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 The Mortgage Works. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • The intention is to sell our one bedroom apartment in Waltham Abbey but we may need to extend the lease, or possibly cover the expense of our purchaser. Can you help me find someone to undertake the legal formalities?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a garden flat in Waltham Abbey, where the lease is around 78 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the flat owner was holding off for her to appoint solicitors prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds devious, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Edinburgh but the property in question is based in Waltham Abbey. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Waltham Abbey. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1854. Its the garden area.
  • If somebody 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?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Waltham Abbey where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has recommended a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
