  • I have my suspicions that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Birtley, where the lease is just over 59 years but she was told by the estate agents that the flat owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the seller was waiting for her to appoint solicitors prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it will take months to sort it all out.

  • We had entered into a purchase of a studio flat in Birtley. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (57 years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The homeowner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the current owner intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Birmingham Midshires won't lend on a lease?
