  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Brighouse. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The owner’s has served the Section 42 Notice. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Barclays . Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Brighouse for asking price of 145k, which has 75 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller.

  • I'm living at mum and dad but have a garden flat in Brighouse let out which has a sixety two year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Brighouse for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 21k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • If somebody 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 extending the lease?

  • I know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
