She submitted an offer on a three bed flat in Bishops Castle, where the lease is nearly fivety six years but she was advised by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the seller was waiting for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it will take time to sort it all out. What do you think?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Bishops Castle 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?
  • I have a lease of seventy six years remaining on my flat in Bishops Castle. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
