Frequently asked questions relating to Winchelsea Lease Extensions

  • My wife has a flat based in Winchelsea which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has approximately sixety six years residual lease term on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am after more information on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I have got a leasehold flat in the Winchelsea area and was curious if I could get a lease extension. What are your processes and charges. Has seventy one years outstanding
  • I would like to have my residential flat leasehold extension premium assessed. The flat is in Winchelsea, and my lease will reach 59 years this July. Could you advise me about the costs and time-frame to obtain your valuation? Also, do you represent your clients at the Tribunal court?
  • I have contacted my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Winchelsea. His lawyers has been in contact with fees etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started January 1990.
  • I am going to purchase a flat based in Winchelsea. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The flat owner’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 Yorkshire Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I will soon view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 55 years left on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the lender will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Winchelsea, where the lease is just under sixety three years but she was informed by the selling agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been advised the current owner was waiting for her to appoint lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take months to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My husband has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Winchelsea. House converted into three flats. He has a lease, which has about 66 years unexpired lease. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • I'm intent on acquiring a flat in Winchelsea valued at £195,000 the flat has approximately seventy four years unexpired on the lease. I put in an offer subject to the lease being extended... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd be in by Christmas. The owner has just informed me they are willing to reduce the price by£8k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much is the premium payable for a lease extension on a residential property in Winchelsea for a one bed flat - sec 42 having been issued?
