Frequently asked questions relating to Woodthorpe Lease Extensions

  • Me and my husband have just purchased a two bedroom first floor purpose built flat based inWoodthorpe and I'm deliberating extending the lease as soon as I can e.g. after 24 months of ownership
  • I am the registered owner of a flat in Woodthorpe with a leasehold unexpired around sixety five years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next steps
  • I am about to put an offer in on a studio flat in Woodthorpe with a lease of 65 years but have no idea what I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • 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 am the owner of a maisonnette and the freehold of both flats. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my garden flat in Woodthorpe, and would like some figures on that.
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four flats in the house. All the leaseholders are now seeking lease extensions. Are you willing to help us with this situation?
  • Me and my sister are buying a maisonette in Woodthorpe which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • I'm looking for some assistance concerning extending the lease on my apartment. The intention is to do this in nine months time as we must move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Do I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • My and my partner know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the landlord was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
