FAQs concerning Congleton Lease Extensions

  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal 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 sixety seven years left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing 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 is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a 2 bed flat in Congleton, where the lease is around sixety four years but she was told by the selling agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been advised the vendor was waiting for her to instruct conveyancers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • Me and my sister are considering buying a one bedroom apartment in Congleton which is a leasehold.

  • Me and my sister are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Congleton. I was informed that the lease had been extended (66 years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The vendor apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the owner intends to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • Me and my wife have owned a leasehold flat for around fifteen years. It now has 70 years outstanding on the lease.

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?
