  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a worry. 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 owning the property. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

  • Me and my wife are considering buying a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Haydock which is a leasehold.

  • My lawyers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • It says on your website the anticipated fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost excluding value added tax and the HMLR fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my one bedroom apartment in Haydock
  • Me and my wife are acquiring a ground floor flat in Haydock which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Haydock. I reside in the top flat. I was reviewing the title deeds today when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 74 years left on the lease. If I want to do a lease extension then would I just be paying for the solicitors fees?
