Questions and Answers: Ditchling Lease Extensions

  • My wife has a flat based in Ditchling which we are about to put on the market.

  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 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 the house being ours. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • I am going to purchase a flat in Ditchling. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The vendor’s conveyancing practitioners has given to the freeholder 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 The Royal Bank of Scotland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
