Wetherby Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • So this is the scenario: I own a maisonette in Wetherby that I am now unable to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. What's your solicitors fee ?
  • I inherited a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat based in Wetherby with a leasehold unexpired of 67 years. I am curious about what I will need to spend to extend my lease term
  • I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Wetherby. The lease commenced in 1998 for 99 years. Now I am wanting for a lease extension. I am unclear about additional expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • I own a leasehold apartment in Wetherby. I have built a big extension and have not informed the leaseholder. What should I do?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for about eighteen years. It now has seventy years unexpired lease on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
  • I am the freeholder of a Victorian property split into two apartments. I reside in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current seventy six years. What are my next steps?
  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my maisonette in Wetherby. I have 79 years left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to the tribunal etc)?
  • I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Wetherby. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1854. Its the garden area.
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Wetherby. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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 tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
