Castleford Lease Extensions

Common questions relating to Castleford Lease Extensions

I'm about to make an offer on a house in Castleford 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 HSBC Bank giving us the mortgage now?

I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Castleford, where the lease is about sixety three years but she was advised by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. She has now been informed the seller was waiting for her to instruct conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
