  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my ground floor flat in Hope. I have 62 yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?

They have just come back saying that they are prepared to knock £4k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • Me and my sister are hoping to buy a flat (a maisonette located inHope with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least 83 years balance left. We identified a apartment we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancers told us the lease only has fivety seven years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or should 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?
