Reply to Extending Garage lease which is on separate lease to flat.

by surfer6

Where the garages are is not conducive to any other building but garages. As a side note not all the flats came with a garage, perhaps thats why some were sold ok. 1 was going to be bought by a BTL landlord and they pulled out. Crazy situation but never mind now, you never know this buyer may still...

Extending Garage lease which is on separate lease to flat.

Hi, am selling my flat that has a long lease but the garage that comes with it has a separate lease which only has 41yrs left. Started the lease extension through the management company and got the quote from them for new length of lease and cost so process was all started.

I'm wondering if freeholder put the block on garage lease extensions as he plans to one day demolish them, or build on top.

by surfer6

Thanks guys, well I am lucky in that I am in the position that I do not have to sell, only reason for selling was to buy my eldest son a place of his own. This is the 2nd buyer now, 1st was a BTL landlord and I will find out if this 2nd one pulls out or buys next week, I would imagine the latter to...

I suggest you buy a copy of the site plan for freehold title of building from Land Registry Online website. It costs £3 to download and check if garage is within site boundary . You may have to seek a 90 year lease extension for your maisonette and garage ( apurtenant property as Lawcruncher...

Reply to Extending Garage lease which is on separate lease to flat.

by sgclacy

You may have to bizarrely extend the flat lease from 940 years to 1030 and include the garage in your notice of claim as advised above

I suspect the amount of the premium will be very small and dwarfed by the total professional fees on your side and that if the landlords...

Reply to Extending Garage lease which is on separate lease to flat.

by surfer6

The Garage is just around the corner and access is from a service ally and is marked on the lease for the flat as are all the garages that come with these maisonettes. The maisonette has a 940+yr lease left, garage 41yrs. I cannot seem to sell the property without extending garage lease. Garage is on...

by sgclacy

The garage lease not being a residential lease would not be effected by the leasehold reform (ground rent) act 2002 - so a lease extension can contain a ground rent and you have no statutory right to extend the lease...

The position seems to be that you can extend both leases, but not the garage lease on its own: See here: http://newsontheblock.com/questions-...a-garage-lease.

Can RMC breach the lease in good cause?

by aardvaark

For a few years, to keep the service charge down, our RMC has externally re-decorated every 7 years instead of every 5, as stipulated by the lease. In practical terms this makes no difference, and the freeholder/landlord is unbothered (as far as anyone knows, they are passive investors). Now one leaseholder...
