  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of 8 flats each. Two of the leasehold owners want to extend their leases and I'm enquiring about the procedure for this
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years remaining so a lease extension is not a worry. 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 feedback would be much appreciated.

  • I am thinking about whether to purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in East Bedfont and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £2500 to extend the lease. I plan to simultaneously get a new mortgage with Nottingham Building Society to release of equity.

  • I am about to view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal 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 67 years remaining on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in East Bedfont. The lease has just seventy two years residual lease term and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
