Winsford Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • My name´s Alexander. I’m flat hunting in Winsford I'm seeing a garden flat online, with roughly 69 years outstanding, how much will it likely cost to extend in this area by, say, 25 years?
  • My wife has a flat based in Winsford which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has roughly sixety eight years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am interested in more information on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • I am looking for a lease extension on the lease on my three bed apartment in Winsford which will have 61 years left in November. What fees apply?

  • We own a leasehold with a freeholder who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Winsford and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?
  • I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a studio flat in Winsford, where the lease is slightly less seventy seven years but she was informed by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the vendor was holding off for her to retain conveyancers before commencing with the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it may take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • Offer accepted on a a garden flat in Winsford, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease had over 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer sent through which states the lease as 85 years.Contracts were due to be exchanged within a week. My query is Should I tell the seller that I will only proceed with the purchase (at the same price) on the condition they carry out a lease extension?
  • My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • My dad has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Winsford. House converted into three apartments. He has a lease, which has around 67 yrs left. 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 am currently in the process of refinancing my garden flat in Winsford and the bank that I am looking to switch to requires at least 85 years remaining on the lease in order for them to progress matters. I have discovered that I currently have around sixety nine years on the leasehold so looking for some advice, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
