  • I am the registered owner of a property in Denham and it has roughly sixety one years balance left. I'd like to arrange a lease extension by twenty years
  • I am interested in getting a lease extension for a flat in Denham and want to use a local . Is there a that you can recommend?
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Denham 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 Barclays Direct giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years remaining so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 the house being ours. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • My neighbours and I are in a building comprising four flats in Denham and have been offered to buy the freehold for 5k per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?
  • We are considering purchasing a three bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Denham which is a leasehold.

  • My wife and I are in the throws of buying a property (a studio flat located inDenham with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 83 years left on the lease. We came across a place we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our informed us the lease only has fivety four years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Denham as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
