Common questions relating to Wootton Bridge Lease Extensions

  • I'm planning on buying a garden flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been absent for nearon 15yrs. My question is would it be less expensive to try to acquire the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • I am looking into the costs of carrying out a lease extension for my studio flat in Wootton Bridge, and would like some figures on that.
  • We bought a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Wootton Bridge and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can help us with?
  • I am a landlord of a block of flats in Wootton Bridge, and the tenants are in the process of being issued lease extensions. I should hopefully get the money next week. How does the tax work, the property is co-owned with my wife ?
  • My fiance and I are proceeding with a purchase of a studio flat in Wootton Bridge. I was advised that the lease had been extended (58 years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The homeowner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the homeowner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my lawyers didn't pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Wootton Bridge for asking price of 125k, which has 61 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller. My question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Wootton Bridge. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1854. Its the rear garden.
  • I note that your website states the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost excluding vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Wootton Bridge
  • We currently own a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Wootton Bridge and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 54 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom apartment in Wootton Bridge. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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. Can you recommend a good lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
