Frequently asked questions relating to Woldingham Lease Extensions

  • I bought a garden flat in Woldingham that I now cannot sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. Can you please help me with this situation ?
  • We bought a leasehold with a landlord who has not given us a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Woldingham and are therefore deliberating the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can handle for us?
  • I am about to view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety eight years left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Woldingham, where the lease is around 76 years but she was informed by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the homeowner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • We have a first floor flat in Woldingham with 61 years unexpired. Last year we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for another fifty years but also increase ground rent from nominal to £200 per annum..plus a premium I think of approximately 16k. Finally we have decided to go ahead but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • My apartment in Woldingham is up for sale and I have a hopefully firm offer. There is eighty one years unexpired on the lease and I want to extend the lease. What does it cost on average to get a lease extension by, say,fifty years
  • Me and my fiance had entered into buying a garden flat in Woldingham. I was told that the lease had been extended (fivety eight years left prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The vendor apparently has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the owner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • I am the registered freeholder of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Woldingham. I occupy in the top flat. I was reviewing the land registry documents today when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 54 years balance left. Can one carry out a lease extension without instructing a solicitors?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Woldingham and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has suggested a much higher premium. 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 equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • We have a one bed flat in Woldingham with a lease of seventy four years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 90 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
