  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my 2 bed flat in Calcot and Tilehurst. I have 62 yrs outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • Me and my husband are hoping to buy a flat (a garden flat based inCalcot and Tilehurst with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum 84 years remaining. We identified a place we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our advised us the lease only has 79 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
