  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Endon. I have 68 yrs remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to the tribunal etc)?

  • We are in the throws of buying a home (a one bed flat inEndon with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least ninety years residual lease term. We came across a place we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our conveyancers advised us the lease only has 59 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
