Recommendation for a lease extension valuation in Stoke area

by m60njp

Apologies of this is the wrong sub-forum. I have a small leasehold apartment in the Stoke area where the lease has run down. I do believe it's worth extending although likely to be !0-15% of the value. I need a valuer to do the before and after figures which as most will know determines the marriage...

Reply to Recommendation for a lease extension valuation in Stoke area

by flyingfreehold

It could quite a long wait. I think the Government now realise that the risk of tinkering with the mechanism under the Act is that if they take away the system of fair compensation by simple abolition of the all important ingredient "marriage value" there may well be a challenge to the court...

by pip

I have a third share of the freehold of a house that is divided into 6 flats. There is a main lease on the whole house (granted in 1957 starting from 1952 for 99 years). This belonged to my mother who died two years ago. There is also...

Leasehold buildings insurance

by Chadwick92

Hi all,

I own a leasehold flat. The freeholder owns the property above - the building/house is split into a ground floor (mine) and first floor flat (the freeholder’s).

It is the freeholder’s responsibility to take out buildings insurance for the whole building for which...

Reply to Leasehold buildings insurance

by Gordon999

The contents inside the flat belongs to the leaseholder or rental occupier, who would insure under a "contents policy" .

Reply to Leasehold buildings insurance

by SouthernDave

This is standard. The freeholder insures the building, nothing more.
so if your building burnt down, the insurance would pay for it to be rebuilt (assuming you had the reinstatement cost correct… many don’t and underinsure the building) but your kitchen, bathroom, carpet etc would not be put...

Reply to Future maintenance of a new alteration

by Lawcruncher

Than is a better way of putting it than I did.

Future maintenance of a new alteration

by bamboccio

Hello,

The context is a concerted house where leaseholders own the freehold.
The service charge is split by percentage of expenditure / costs.
One leaseholder is now going to alter his property and build a significant extension. This will cause a jump in the building insurance...
