FAQs concerning West Dean Lease Extensions

  • I am the owner of a maisonnette together with the freehold of both flats. My upstairs neighbours have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I'm considering buying a studio flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been absent for slightly more than 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to purchase the reversionary title or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • What will I need to spend and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have slightly more than seventy five years remaining on my lease on a garden flat in West Dean. I have called the agent who represent the freeholder and they sent me the number of the valuer. I have contacted the surveyor but I am not receiving any returned calls.
  • Regarding a property in West Dean. GFF maisonette. 59 yrs remaining. I have negotiated a lease extension price of £20k for 115yrs. Freeholder also requested Notice of Claim which I think is a bit over the top. Advice required.
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four flats in the building. All the leaseholders are now requiring lease extensions. Are you willing to assist us with this situation?
  • My partner and I are considering buying a maisonette in West Dean which is a leasehold. I am enquiring as to the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the land evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?
  • My lawyers (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?
  • I am looking to extend the lease on my maisonette in West Dean I am looking for help to verify the premium. I have a quote from the freeholder. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in West Dean 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?
