  • I am about to view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 64 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?

  • My partner and I are acquiring a garden flat in Berkhamsted which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our property lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to wait until the new lease is registered?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my apartment. The plan is to do this next autumn as we need to move 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. Do I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Berkhamsted 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?
