Weybridge Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I need to extend my existing lease can you assist? I think it has 61 years left
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Weybridge, and my lease will reach 76 years this June. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain an appraisal? Also, do you represent your clients at the Tribunal court?
  • I plan on buying a flat based in Weybridge. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The owner’s solicitors has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Santander. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a block comprising four flats in Weybridge and have been offered to buy the freehold for £5000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • How much will it cost me and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have approximately 55 years unexpired lease on my lease on a garden flat in Weybridge. I have contacted the managing agents who act on behalf of the head landlord and they provided me with the number of the valuer. I telephone the valuer but I am not getting any kind of reaction.
  • My mortgage provider requires a £500 fee for their solicitors for a "deed of substituted security" for the lease extension for my flat in Weybridge... I am unable to find any mention of this in my mortgage literature... is this a standard charge?
  • My leasehold flat in Weybridge is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is eighty one years unexpired on the lease and I want a lease extension. What does it cost on average to extend in this area by, say,25 years
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four apartments in the building. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. How long will take to get a lease extension?
  • We had entered into a purchase of a one bedroom apartment in Weybridge. I was advised that the lease had been lengthened (seventy seven years unexpired lease prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out 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 money to extend and consequently the homeowner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is why has this only just been brought to my attention by my solicitors?
  • I have 72 years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Weybridge, the Landlord requires a £18k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is reasonable
