  • I will soon view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 61 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the lender will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Haywards Heath for asking price of 156k, which has 58 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 question is: If the freeholder does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • We have a one bedroom apartment in Haywards Heath with a lease of fivety six years left with a value of around £410000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Haywards Heath. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
