I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont 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 Barclays giving us the mortgage now?
I want to purchase a leasehold property and extend the lease. The current owner has been there over 2 years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?
We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not required.

We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm looking for a flat to buy in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold concept. I've found a maisonette I like with a 82 years lease.

I have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a maisonette in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont, where the lease is roughly seventy seven years but she was advised by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the owner was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds devious, also it could take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?
I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont for asking price of 145k, which has 58 years lease left on it. Seller doesn't want to extend the lease for even if I were to pay the money to the seller.

Just been over two years that I have been in my maisonette in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont. I have seventy years remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors 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 LVT)?
