Frequently asked questions relating to Whaley Bridge Lease Extensions

  • I have got a leasehold flat in the Whaley Bridge area and was curious if I could get a lease extension. What are your processes and fees. Has 63 years balance left
  • Do you only handle lease extensions in Whaley Bridge? I own a flat in Abbey Wood with 90 years outstanding, I am looking for a quote from a conveyancing practitioners.
  • My mortgage provider requires several hundred pounds for their solicitors to agree a lease extension for my flat in Whaley Bridge... I am unable to find any reference of this in my mortgage contract... is this a standard cost that they charge?
  • We are considering purchasing a three bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Whaley Bridge which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the pros and cons of that - what happens when lease ends, 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?
  • We are proceeding with buying a three bed flat in Whaley Bridge. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (fivety nine years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to 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 vendor intends to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • My property 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?
  • My nephew has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Whaley Bridge. House split into three flats. He has a lease, which has just under 74 years left. How much would it cost for a lease extension and how many years would he need to extend by?
  • Me and my partner would like to know the cost of a lease extension valuation for a property based in Whaley Bridge. Is this something you can assist us with?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Whaley Bridge. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1895. Its the rear garden.
  • I have a lease of seventy eight years remaining on my flat in Whaley Bridge. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
