Caerleon Lease Extensions

Caerleon Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Caerleon 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 Yorkshire Building Society giving us the mortgage now?

This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required.

I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
