  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years remaining so a lease extension is not required. 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • I am thinking about purchasing an auction property and identified a two bed flat in Haringey. It only has a 50 year lease..the current owner as mortgagees in possession will not want the aggravation of negotiating a lease extension..what are the disadvantages of this except for the expensive fee to extend the lease and reduced chance of obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham Building Society?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Haringey for asking price of 156k, which has sixety nine 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 surveyor, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • Me and my sister are buying a studio flat in Haringey which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to be patient pending registration of the new lease?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Haringey where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • We are concerned about getting a lease extension from tricky freeholder. Regardless of the fact that the legal procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the landlord still tried to charge ground rent of £200 doubling every 25 years of the new term. Can you assist?
