  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 75 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My main concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I would like to know the likely charges and the best way to start the lease extension process? I have nearon seventy five years outstanding and I own a 2 bed flat in Hainault.
  • We had entered into buying a studio flat in Hainault. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety five years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the homeowner intends to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • My son has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Hainault. House divided into three apartments. He has a lease, which has roughly sixety seven years remaining.

  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Hainault. I live in the top flat. I was reviewing the land registry documents yesterday when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 64 years outstanding. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the property lawyers costs?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Hainault and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 71 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
