  • I’ve just completed on a garden flat inKenton and I'm deliberating extending the lease as soon as I can e.g. in two years
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years left so a lease extension is not required. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • I plan on buying a flat based in Kenton. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The vendor’s lawyers has served 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 Bank of Ireland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Kenton, where the lease is circa fivety four years but she was informed by the estate agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years.

What do you think?

The Freeholder has supplied us with a financial figure that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed.

Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette in Kenton. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then.

Can you recommend a good conveyancers who specialises in lease extensions?
