  • I am thinking about bidding for an auction property and identified a one bed flat in Windmill Hill.

  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Windmill Hill for asking price of 125k, which has fivety four 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 landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Me and my fiance are purchasing a ground floor flat in Windmill Hill which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Windmill Hill 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?

  • I have a lease of fivety eight years remaining on my flat in Windmill Hill. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
