  • I am about to view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 65 years remaining on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Chipping Norton, where the lease is slightly less sixety two years but she was informed by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the flat owner was holding off for her to retain lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it may take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • My (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?
  • I have a lease of sixety one years remaining on my flat in Chipping Norton. 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?
