  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years residual lease term 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 owning the property. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

  • Just been over 2 years that I have been in my one bed flat in Derby. I have 60 yrs left on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to the tribunal etc)?

  • I have a lease of seventy five years remaining on my flat in Derby. 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?
