  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Crabtree but I'm a little worried 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 Nationwide Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not a concern. 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 owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.

  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Crabtree. I was informed that the lease had been lengthened (71 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the current owner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for around fifteen years. It now has 55 years outstanding on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome advice.
