Woodingdean Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • My fiance and I are looking for lease extension for our leasehold house located in Woodingdean and we don't fully comprehend the communication that we got from our freehold company. What's your legal fee?
  • My name´s Dylan. I’m house hunting in Woodingdean I'm thinking about offering on a studio flat online, with circa sixety three years left, how much will it likely cost to get a lease extension by, say, 35 years?
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Woodingdean but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Halifax giving us the mortgage now?
  • I want to acquire a leasehold property and lease extension. The homeowner has been there for four years and will sign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I'm deliberating over buying a one bedroom apartment (leasehold) but the freeholder has been missing for around 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to acquire the reversionary title or to extend lease and apply for right to manage?
  • What will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have approximately 78 years unexpired lease on my lease on a garden flat in Woodingdean. I have contacted the agent who act on behalf of the landlord and they provided me with the number for the valuer. I have contacted the surveyor but I am not receiving any kind of response.
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Glasgow but the flat in question is based in Woodingdean. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
  • I am planning on refinancing my garden flat in Woodingdean and the bank that I am looking to move to requires a minimum 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters. I have discovered that I currently have around 68 years on the leasehold so require some help, guidance, and some quotes to set the wheels in motion for a lease extension
  • I have a lease of 54 years remaining on my flat in Woodingdean. 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?
