  • I purchased a flat in Driffield with a leasehold unexpired around seventy five years and need to extend it. Please can you advise me of the next stages
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years outstanding 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I plan on buying a flat in Driffield. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The homeowner’s lawyers has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. 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 Clydesdale. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • I am about to view a one bedroom apartment, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety eight years remaining on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I'm seeking some assistance with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette. The intention is to do this in nine months time as we have to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the LVT route. Do I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?

  • We currently own a ground floor flat in Driffield and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has sixety seven years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
