West Byfleet Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • So this is the scenario: I bought a one bed flat in West Byfleet that I am finding difficult to sell due to the lease requiring a lease extension. How long will it take ?
  • I have shares in the freehold of 2 blocks of flats comprising of seven flats each. Two of the leaseholders want a lease extension and I'm enquiring about the the process
  • I am looking for a solicitors in West Byfleet and they should be on the Britannia approved conveyancers panel as we need a lease extension and refinance at the same time. Can you recommend any please ?
  • I am the registered owner of a three bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette located in West Byfleet with a leasehold unexpired of seventy years. I am curious about what it will cost me to extend my lease
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • We own a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in West Byfleet and are therefore considering the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can handle for us?
  • We would like to extend our lease. We will have been in the place for 2 years as of 21st May 2016. It has approximately 77 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • I'm looking for some advice concerning a lease extension on my flat. The intention is to do this next summer as we need to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the LVT route. Do I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in West Byfleet 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?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in West Byfleet with 82yrs remaining)
