Top Ten Questions relating to Whyteleafe Lease Extensions

  • I need to extend my current lease can you assist? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has sixety two years unexpired
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years outstanding so a lease extension is not required. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Whyteleafe, where the lease is nearon sixety five years but she was informed by the estate agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the current owner was waiting for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • I am looking for advice as I am interested in a property that has only a 54 year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Can I call someone to go through my options please?
  • My OH and I have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. It now has fivety seven years left on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my property lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would welcome advice.
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Belfast but the flat in question is based in Whyteleafe. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • My and my husband are worried about seeking a lease extension from tricky landlord. Even though the legal procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the landlord still attempted to charge ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new term. Can you assist?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Whyteleafe 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?
  • We have a garden flat in Whyteleafe with a lease of 74 years left with a value of around £290000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Whyteleafe. 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?
