  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Whitby. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The owner’s has served the Section 42 Notice. 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 Skipton Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • My co-lessees and I are in a building made up four flats in Whitby 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?

  • I'm intent on buying an apartment in Whitby valued at £210,000 the flat has something like fivety seven years unexpired on the lease. I put in an offer subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in August, hoping I'd be in by Christmas. They have just informed the agent that they are prepared to knock £3k off if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Whitby and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?
  • I'm looking for some help with regard to extending the lease on my apartment. I'll be looking to do this in nine months time as we have to move 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?
