However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy years outstanding on the lease.

  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Chatteris. The lease has only sixety eight years residual lease term and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my garden flat in Chatteris. I have seventy eight yrs outstanding on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?

  • My partner and I are are hoping to complete on a garden flat in Chatteris which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our conveyancers to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I have 57 years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Chatteris, the Landlord requires a £15k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is too high
