  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Leatherhead but I'm a little worried 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 National Westminster Bank giving us the mortgage now?
  • What will I need to spend and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have approximately fivety six years outstanding on my lease on a ground floor flat in Leatherhead.

  • We have owned a leasehold flat for about fifteen years. There are 56 years left on the lease.

  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my one bed flat in Leatherhead. I have 54 yrs outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting 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 lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to LVT)?
  • I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Leatherhead. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1854. Its the garden area.
  • My fiance and I are acquiring a three bed flat in Leatherhead which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • We currently own a studio flat in Leatherhead and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 79 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
