  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Whitchurch. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The seller’s conveyancing practitioners 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 Halifax. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • My leasehold flat in Whitchurch is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is eighty one years left on the lease and I want to extend the lease. How much will it likely cost to get a lease extension by, say,35 years
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Whitchurch for asking price of 156k, which has 61 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 query is: If the freeholder 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?
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost including vat and the HMLR fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Whitchurch
  • Hi I own the freehold reversion in a one bedroom flat in Whitchurch. The leaseholder has a 65 year lease and would like to purchase an additional 90 years. He is offering me £27,000 but I am unsure if this is too low an offer
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Whitchurch as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
