  • My wife has a flat based in Bucknall which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has roughly seventy six years residual lease term on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am after more information on how we get started on a lease extension? Thank you.
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years unexpired so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 advice would be much appreciated.

  • I'm living with my mum and dad but have a two bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Bucknall let out which has a 69 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.

The Freeholder has given us with a financial figure that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed.

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Bucknall and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has recommended a much higher amount. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
