Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Clydesdale. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety nine years outstanding on the lease.

  • We are hoping to purchase a home (a one bedroom apartment based inBaildon with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least ninety years left on the lease. We came across a place we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our lawyers informed us the lease only has 74 years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?

  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette in Baildon. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
