We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years outstanding so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm planning on purchasing a one bed flat (leasehold) but the landlord has been absent for approximately 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be less expensive to try to purchase the reversionary title or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
I am the owner of a purpose-built flat located in a small development in Catton. The leasehold interest in the apartment on a 99 year lease which commenced from 11th March 1970 with a fixed ground rent of £15 per annum. I would like to obtain a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to go through my options please?
My lawyers (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?
Me and my sister are buying a garden flat in Catton which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
I am the registered freeholder of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Catton. I reside in the upper flat.

I know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend such a course of action?
I have a lease of fivety nine years remaining on my flat in Catton. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
