  • I have contacted my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Wenvoe. Her lawyers has been in contact concerning charges etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started March 1990.
  • My partner and I have a leasehold flat in Wenvoe with 68 years left. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for a further fifty years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of approximately 14k.

  • My solicitors (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?

  • We are purchasing a garden flat in Wenvoe which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Wenvoe and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has suggested a much higher figure. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • We are concerned about getting a lease extension from tricky landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the freeholder still attempted to charge ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new term. Can you assist?
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
