Common questions relating to Darnall Lease Extensions

  • Me and my OH have just completed on a garden flat located inDarnall and I'm thinking about a lease extension as soon as I can e.g. after two years
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Darnall 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 Britannia giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years unexpired so a lease extension is not required. 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 twenty years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
  • Hello. I need someone to review my lease extension prior to it being completed just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor changes.
  • I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Darnall. His property lawyers has been in contact concerning costs etc. I need an estimate for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The apartment currently has a 99 YR lease which started November 1984.
  • I plan on buying a flat in Darnall. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The current owner’s lawyers has served the Section 42 Notice. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender National Westminster Bank. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • The intention is to sell our garden flat in Darnall but we may require a lease extension, or at least cover the expense of our purchaser. Are you able to help me find a solicitors to help us?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Darnall. The lease has only 65 years left 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 buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait 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 owner? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My wife and I have a residential flat in Darnall with sixety seven years unexpired. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for a further thirty years but also increase ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of approximately 16k. We have now decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • I am in need of some help with a lease extension. I live in Edinburgh but the flat in question is based in Darnall. I would be grateful if you can give me a call when you get a chance to discuss the case.
