  • Me and my sister are proceeding with buying a 2 bed flat in Headington. I was informed that the lease had been lengthened (74 years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension.

My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?

During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum 84 years left on the lease.

Should we walk away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Headington 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?
