  • Me and my husband are in the throws of buying a flat (a garden flat located inExminster with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years left. We found a place we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our conveyancing practitioners told us the lease only has seventy seven years and thus requires a lease extension. Should we run 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?
  • My mother is aware that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest this course of action?
  • I require an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Exminster. She recently got a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is reasonable.
