  • I'm looking for a flat to purchase in Keighley and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold tenure. I've found a ground floor flat I like with a 82 years lease. My research reveals that I can get a lease extension after 2 years, but:- Should I be looking for some caveats that would prevent me for getting a lease extension?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Keighley. The lease has just seventy three years residual lease term and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time consuming to the vendor? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I wondered if you could help me on how much it would charges and the best way to get a lease extension started? I have about 61 years unexpired lease and I own a ground floor flat in Keighley.
  • I own 50% in a shared ownership flat with a housing association and I am considering a lease extension on a lease which is now around 62 years. I need a at my end. Can you advise please? I live near Keighley and have a mortgage with TSB.

  • Me and my partner are buying a garden flat in Keighley which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we must be patient pending registration of the new lease?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Keighley. I occupy in the top flat. I was looking at the title deeds recently when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 57 years outstanding. If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the fees?
  • I have a lease of sixety seven years remaining on my flat in Keighley. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
