  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years left 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 25 years without the house being ours. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • I plan on buying a flat located in Caddington. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The vendor’s lawyers has served the Notice of Claim. 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 Nottingham Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • I am currently in the process of refinancing my ground floor flat in Caddington and the mortgage company that I am looking to switch to requires at least 85 years remaining on the lease in order for them to progress matters.

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Caddington as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
