  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years balance left so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • I'm looking at purchasing an apartment in Barlaston valued at £256,000 the flat has something like sixety six years remaining on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon the lease being extended... .. that was back in September, expecting I'd have completed before Christmas. They have just come back saying they are willing to knock £4k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
  • We are purchasing a three bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Barlaston which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • My friend knows that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
