  • I own a property in Bradmore and it has slightly more than 54 years outstanding. I'd like to extend the lease period
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Bradmore but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Barnsley Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?

  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Bradmore. I was advised that the lease had been extended (78 years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the homeowner intends to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
