I will soon view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 76 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a garden flat in Castleton and Blacktown, where the lease is circa 69 years but she was told by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the owner was holding off for her to retain solicitors before commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it could take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

Me and my husband are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Castleton and Blacktown. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety nine years unexpired lease prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the seller wants to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my property lawyers didn't spot this far earlier than just before exchange?
My solicitors (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?
