FAQs concerning Ditchling Lease Extensions

  • I want to acquire a leasehold property and lease extension. The homeowner has been there for three years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years left 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • We own a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Ditchling and looking to do a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?

  • We had entered into buying a garden flat in Ditchling. I was told that the lease had been lengthened (71 years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the flat owner wants to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that HSBC Bank won't lend on a lease?
  • Me and my husband have owned a leasehold flat for around twenty years. It now has 79 years unexpired lease on the lease.
