  • I am concerned that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a studio flat in Bellingham, where the lease is roughly 57 years but she was advised by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. She has now been advised the owner was holding off for her to appoint conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

  • We are hoping to acquire a home (a one bed flat based inBellingham with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least ninety years residual lease term. We found a place we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our conveyancing practitioners told us the lease only has seventy four years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or do we reduce our offer?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Bellingham as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
