Questions and Answers: Capel Curig Lease Extensions

  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Capel Curig but I'm a little worried 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 Barclays giving us the mortgage now?

  • My OH and I are proceeding with buying a garden flat in Capel Curig. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety seven years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the vendor wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?

  • Just been over two years that I have been in my garden flat in Capel Curig. I have 70 yrs left on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners 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 funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
