West Beckton Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • My fiance and I are thinking about a lease extension for our ground floor flat located in West Beckton and we don't fully comprehend the letter that we got from our freehold company. Are you willing to help us with this situation?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years remaining so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 twenty years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • We hope to sell our garden flat in West Beckton but we may need to extend the lease, or possibly cover the costs of our purchaser. Can you help me find someone to handle this?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in West Beckton. The lease has only 72 years residual lease term and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the seller? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • We are considering purchasing a garden flat in West Beckton which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of that - what occurs when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Dublin but the property in question is based in West Beckton. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I am currently in the process of refinancing my maisonette in West Beckton and the next lender that I am looking to move to needs a minimum 80 years remaining on the lease in order for them to take the mortgage forward. I have found that I currently have around 65 years on the leasehold so looking for some help, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in West Beckton 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?
