  • Me and my sister are proceeding with buying a ground floor flat in West Kirby. I was informed that the lease had been extended (seventy six years left prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the current owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my conveyancing practitioners failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in West Kirby for asking price of 145k, which has seventy two years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • My conveyancers (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?
  • Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my maisonette in West Kirby. I have 68 years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • My OH and I are hoping to purchase a property (a garden flat located inWest Kirby with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum ninety years remaining. We came across a flat we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our solicitors told us the lease only has 65 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
