  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Kings Heath but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? 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 Skipton Building Society giving us the mortgage now?

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Kings Heath and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has suggested a much higher figure. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
