Questions and Answers: Waltham Cross Lease Extensions

  • Hello, I just randomly found your website. I'm looking for prices on what it cost to extend a lease of a three bed apartment based in Waltham Cross. It's on sale at the moment but has around 66 years unexpired lease on the lease
  • I own a leasehold flat in the Waltham Cross area and was curious if I could get a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has 70 years outstanding
  • I am about to put an offer in on a garden flat in Waltham Cross with a lease of fivety five years but unsure what I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I have contacted my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Waltham Cross. Her property lawyers has been in contact regarding charges etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started July 1994.
  • We purchased a leasehold with a freeholder who has failed to give us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Waltham Cross and are therefore thinking about the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I would like to know how much it would charges and the optimum way to start the lease extension process? I have slightly less than seventy four years left and I own a ground floor flat in Waltham Cross.
  • I am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two flats. I live in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 72 years. What are my next steps?
  • It says on your website the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my studio flat in Waltham Cross
  • We are purchasing a maisonette in Waltham Cross which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Waltham Cross as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
