We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Virgin Money giving us the mortgage now?

  • Just been over 2 years that I have been in my maisonette in Bedfont. I have seventy five yrs remaining on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to LVT)?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Bedfont and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • We have a maisonette in Bedfont with a lease of 66 years left with a value of around £290000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
