I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Chertsey I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chertsey suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I have recently realised that I have Seventy years left on my flat in Chertsey. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to try and locate and to produce a report to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Chertsey.

Notwithstanding our best efforts, we have been unsuccessful in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Chertsey. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to arrive at the sum to be paid.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Chertsey premises is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 82.93 years.

We are in the process of a leasehold sale of a flat in Chertsey. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the landlord. To date we have issued a cheque for £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £200 plus VAT for additional questions supplied by the buyers property lawyer.

You will not have control over the extent of the fee for this information however the average costs for the information for Chertsey leasehold property is £360. For Chertsey conveyancing deals it is usual for the vendor to cover the costs. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to address such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that mandates set charges for administrative tasks. Nor is there any set time limit by which they are required to provide answers.
