  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years unexpired so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in High Holborn where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • I have a lease of seventy three years remaining on my flat in High Holborn.

Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
