  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Fairbourne but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Norwich and Peterborough Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • I would like to know the likely financials and the best way to start the lease extension process? I have nearon 65 years unexpired lease and I own a ground floor flat in Fairbourne.
  • Offer accepted on a a one bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Fairbourne, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease had over 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer in writing through the post which states the lease as eighty years.Contracts were due to be exchanged within a week. My query is Should I tell the vendor that I will only proceed with the purchase (at the same price) on the condition they carry out a lease extension?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Fairbourne for asking price of 156k, which has 71 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My query is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • We know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you recommend such a course of action?
  • I have a lease of seventy eight years remaining on my flat in Fairbourne. 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?
