If your property is leasehold and you pay a ground rent you should
be aware that when the unexpired term falls below 70 years a
mortgage provider may impose stricter conditions on mortgage or even
consider the property un-mortgage-able. In order to be able to
sell or remortgage your home you may need to do one of two things
depending on whether you own a house or a flat. If you own a house
then you have a statutory right to purchase the Freehold interest
provided certain criteria are met. If you own a flat then you have a
statutory right to a 90 year extension on your current lease
provided certain criteria are met.
We specialise in this matter and are able to provide statutory
valuations for Freehold and lease Extension premiums. Included with
this will be some negotiation and consultation with the other party
or parties to the matter.
We are able to provide preparation of Collective Enfranchisement
(when a number of people purchase the freehold interest) for Flat
block lessees including case management and preparation of evidence.
We also provide representation at Leasehold Valuation Tribunal and
Lands Tribunal when Freehold/Leasehold premiums cannot be agreed by
negotiation.
