  • Me and my fiance had entered into buying a ground floor flat in Irlam. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (62 years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the owner intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my conveyancers failed to spot this far earlier than just before exchange?

  • I'm looking for some help concerning extending the lease on my maisonette. The intention is to do this next winter as we have to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. You are able to recommend a good solicitors who specialises in lease extensions. Preferably based in Irlam?
  • I know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you suggest this course of action?
