As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this.

Following years of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Monken Hadley. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

Where there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to make a decision on the price.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Monken Hadley premises is Flat 2 2 Netherfield Road in April 2010. The Tribunale held that premium payable for a 90 year extension to the existing Lease should be £7,705. This case affected 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 76 years.

What makes a Monken Hadley lease unacceptable for security purposes?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Monken Hadley. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Aldermore all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.
