  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Bingley, where the lease is about 73 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the homeowner was holding off for her to appoint solicitors before commencing with the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

The seller has just come back saying that they are prepared to reduce the price by£2k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • We currently own a garden flat in Bingley and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy three years left.

  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Bingley. 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?
