Top Ten Questions relating to Fforestfach Lease Extensions

  • My wife has a flat based in Fforestfach which we are about to put on the market. The leasehold has about 66 years unexpired on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we get started on a lease extension? Many thanks.

  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Fforestfach but I'm concerned 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 Clydesdale giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 25 years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
