  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Dewsbury 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 Accord Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?

  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Dewsbury for asking price of 125k, which has 54 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller.

  • We have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Dewsbury.

The Freeholder has supplied us with a premium amount that she is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a conveyancing practitioners to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on the lease extension.
  • I'm looking at purchasing a flat in Dewsbury valued at £256,000 the flat has just under 57 years unexpired on the lease. My offer was subject to the lease being extended... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd be in before Christmas. The owner has just come back saying that they are prepared to knock £5k off if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
  • I have a lease of fivety seven years remaining on my flat in Dewsbury. 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?
