Frequently asked questions relating to Caversham Heights Lease Extensions

  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Caversham Heights 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 Coventry Building Society giving us the mortgage now?

  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a studio flat in Caversham Heights, where the lease is about 55 years but she was informed by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the flat owner was waiting for her to appoint lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I am thinking about bidding for an auction property and came upon a one bed flat in Caversham Heights.

  • I'm hoping for some advice with regard to extending the lease on my apartment. The intention is to do this next June as we need to move then.
