Winchmore Hill Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I am going to purchase a flat based in Winchmore Hill. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The 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 Santander. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my 2 bed flat in Winchmore Hill. I have seventy two years remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Winchmore Hill and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has suggested a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bed flat in Winchmore Hill. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then.

Can you recommend a good lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
