West Harrow Lease Extensions

Common questions relating to West Harrow Lease Extensions

I purchased a flat in West Harrow with a leasehold unexpired circa 55 years and need to extend it. Please can you clarify the next stages

Hello, I stumbled upon your site. I'm seeking prices on what it cost to extend a lease of a ground floor flat in West Harrow. It's up for sale at the moment but has around seventy two years of unexpired leasehold

I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in West Harrow. Her has been in contact regarding costs etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started April 1994.

Last year I purchased a leasehold flat in West Harrow. I have built a large extension and have not informed my leaseholder. What should I do?

My wife and I are considering purchasing a garden flat in West Harrow which is a leasehold. I am wondering what are the pros and cons of that - what happens when lease expires, 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?

My fiance and I are proceeding with buying a ground floor flat in West Harrow. I was told that the lease had been extended (78 years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The current owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the homeowner wants to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Bank of Ireland won't lend on a lease?

My (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 are hoping to complete on a garden flat in West Harrow which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?

My and my partner are worried about obtaining a lease extension from a difficult freeholder. Regardless of the fact that the legal procedures were followed under the appropriate legislation, the landlord still tried to charge ground rent of £300 doubling every twenty five years of the new lease. Can you help?

Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in West Harrow with 82yrs remaining)
