  • Me and my partner had entered into a purchase of a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Harehills. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (61 years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The seller apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the flat owner intends to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Harehills as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
