  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy six years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I am considering acquiring an auction property and identified a one bed flat in Horsford. It has just 48 year lease..the seller as mortgagees in possession dont want the aggravation of applying for a lease extension..what are the disadvantages of this other than the huge fee to put a new lease on it and reduced chance of getting a mortgage with Nationwide Building Society?

  • My son has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Horsford. House split into three flats. He has a lease, which has just over sixety five yrs left. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Horsford. I have seventy eight years left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners 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 financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Horsford. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1895. Its the garden area.
  • I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Horsford. I live in the top flat. I was reviewing the title deeds last night when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 72 years unexpired. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors costs?
