  • I am considering whether to purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in Brown Edge and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £3k to extend the lease. I will be doing a remortgage with Barnsley Building Society to free up equity.

  • I will soon view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 63 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • My dad has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Brown Edge. House divided into three apartments. He has a lease, which has nearon 55 yrs left. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • I'm looking at acquiring an apartment in Brown Edge at a price of £256,000 the flat has something like 64 years left on the lease. My offer was conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in August, expecting I'd be in before Christmas. The owner has just come back saying they are willing to knock £4k off if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
  • I have a lease of 66 years remaining on my flat in Brown Edge. 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?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Brown Edge. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
