Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I have been advised by a few estate agents in Tidworth to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above another?

We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Tidworth, conveyancing was carried out April 1999. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Tidworth with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087

With only 62 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations.

There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
