  • I am going to purchase a flat based in Ingatestone. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The current owner’s conveyancing practitioners has served the Section 42 Notice. 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 Birmingham Midshires. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Ingatestone, where the lease is around sixety four years but she was told by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the homeowner was holding off for her to retain solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it could take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?

  • My fiance and I are buying a one bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Ingatestone which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Ingatestone where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has suggested a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • I am currently in the process of remortgaging my maisonette in Ingatestone and the bank that I am looking to move to needs at least 85 years remaining on the lease in order for them to take the mortgage forward.
