  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Edgbaston. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (58 years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The homeowner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the vendor 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 it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much is the premium payable for a lease extension on a residential property in Edgbaston for a two bed flat - section 42 is already served?

  • I have a lease of sixety one years remaining on my flat in Edgbaston. 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?
