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 Britannia giving us the mortgage now?

  • We have owned a leasehold flat for about fifteen years. It now has seventy nine years outstanding on the lease.

  • My partner and I are hoping to buy a property (a one bedroom apartment based inHertford with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 83 years outstanding. We came across a apartment we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our conveyancing practitioners told us the lease only has seventy five years and thus requires a lease extension. Do we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my ground floor flat in Hertford. 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?
