Common questions relating to Bridgnorth Lease Extensions

  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of six flats each. 2 of the leasehold owners want a lease extension and I'm enquiring about the the process
  • I need to extend my existing lease can you help me with that? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has 78 years outstanding
  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Bridgnorth 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?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I am looking to buy a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Bridgnorth with a lease of 76 years but not sure what I will have to spend to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I have contacted my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Bridgnorth. His solicitors has been in contact regarding costs etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The flat currently has a 99 YR lease which started December 1990.
  • I am looking at bidding for an auction property and came upon a one bed flat in Bridgnorth. It has just fifty-one year lease..the seller being mortgagees in possession will not want the aggravation of negotiating a lease extension..what are the disadvantages of this other than the costly fee to put a new lease on it and reduced chance of obtaining a mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • Me and my husband are buying a ground floor flat in Bridgnorth which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors 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 property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my maisonette in Bridgnorth
