  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Chadwell St Mary 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 Barnsley Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years left 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.

However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has sixety four years balance left on the lease.

  • My OH and I have owned a leasehold flat for around fifteen years. It now has fivety five years unexpired lease on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome some independent thoughts.
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and base the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest such a course of action?
