Frequently asked questions relating to Herne Bay Lease Extensions

  • So this is the scenario: I own a maisonette in Herne Bay that I am now unable to sell due to the lease requiring a lease extension. Are you willing to help me with this situation ?

  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Herne Bay but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Barclays giving us the mortgage now?
  • Hi. I need someone to review my lease extension prior to it being formalised just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor changes.
  • I need to talk to you about a leasehold property in Herne Bay, I am thinking of bidding at auction next week. The flat has a short lease and I am curious about how much it would cost to get a lease extension and for your services.
  • I will soon view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 68 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repossession so I'm assuming that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Herne Bay, where the lease is about sixety eight years but she was advised by the estate agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the vendor was waiting for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • Offer accepted on a a studio flat in Herne Bay, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer sent through which states the lease as 82 years.We are about to exchange contracts within a week. My question is Have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • I'm looking for some advice concerning extending the lease on my apartment. The plan is to do this sometime next year as we have to move 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. Do I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
