Top Ten Questions relating to Warlingham Lease Extensions

  • I am looking for a lease extension on the lease on my three bed apartment in Warlingham which will have 61 years left in January. What fees apply?
  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Warlingham but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Bank of Scotland giving us the mortgage now?
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium valued. The flat is in Warlingham, and my lease will reach 54 years this January. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain an appraisal? Also, do you represent your clients at the LVT court?
  • The terms for the lease on my flat in Warlingham are 101 years from 12 Feb 1989. Please provide me a quote to extend the lease if I give you more details please?
  • We are the registered owners of a leasehold with a freeholder who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Warlingham and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • We would like to extend our lease having owned the apartment for 2 years as of 6th March 2015. It has about 67 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by way of an additional 90 years as quickly and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • My nephew has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Warlingham. House split into three apartments. He has a lease, which has around 64 years remaining. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • Me and my sister are purchasing a ground floor flat in Warlingham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our 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 be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a garden flat in Warlingham. She recently got a figure from the landlord for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is too high.
