Lakenham Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a worry. 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.

  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my studio flat in Lakenham. I have 66 yrs outstanding on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of less than 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Lakenham. I live in the top flat.
