West Beckton Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • So this is the scenario: I bought a one bedroom apartment in West Beckton that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • My wife has a flat based in West Beckton which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has about 55 years remaining on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I'm thinking of buying a garden flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been missing for roughly 15yrs. My query is would it be less expensive to try to buy the reversionary title or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?

  • Regarding a leasehold in West Beckton. GFF maisonette. 64 yrs unexpired. I have negotiated a lease extension price of £12,000 for 125yrs. Landlord also insisted on Section 42 Notice which I think is a bit over the top. Can you assist.
  • My leasehold flat in West Beckton is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is eighty one years left on the lease and I want to extend the lease. How much does it cost on average to extend in this area by, say,thirty years
  • I am the freeholder of a property in West Beckton where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has put forward a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need 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 fee would I be likely to incur?
  • I am planning on refinancing my maisonette in West Beckton and the next lender that I am looking to move to requires a minimum 80 years remaining on the lease in order for them to progress matters.
