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 Alliance & Leicester giving us the mortgage now?

I plan on buying a flat based in Howden. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The flat owner’s has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Halifax. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

My co-lessees and I are in a building made up three flats in Howden and have been offered to buy the freehold for £6000 per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?

I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Howden as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?

I was hoping you might be able to tell me the process of how to apply for a lease extension for my studio flat in Howden
