Waltham Forest Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • 20,000 agreed with the landlord’s agents, just attempting to find a Waltham Forest for a lease extension. Our flat has around 78 yearsremaining. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • My wife has an apartment based in Waltham Forest which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has around seventy years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I have contacted my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Waltham Forest. Her has been in contact with charges etc. I need a ball park figure for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started Septembmer 1990.
  • The terms for the lease on my apartment in Waltham Forest are 95 years from 15 Dec 1988. Please give me a quote for a lease extension if I give you more specifics please?
  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a garden flat in Waltham Forest, where the lease is about sixety two years but she was advised by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. She has now been informed the current owner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it could take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • I am a landlord of a block of flats in Waltham Forest, and the leaseholders are in the process of being granted lease extensions. I should hopefully get funds next week. How does the tax work, the property is co-owned with my wife ?
  • My partner and I have a ground floor flat in Waltham Forest with sixety four years remaining. Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for another thirty years but also increase ground rent from nominal to £250 per year..plus a premium I think of about 10k. We have now decided to proceed but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Waltham Forest and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has suggested a much higher premium. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Waltham Forest and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has sixety years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Waltham Forest with 82yrs remaining)
