Sample questions relating to Leatherhead Lease Extensions

  • We have just acquired a one bedroom apartment inLeatherhead and I'm considering a lease extension as soon as practicable e.g. after 24 months of ownership
  • My wife has a flat in Leatherhead which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has slightly less than sixety nine years residual lease term on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. Can you please assist on how we get started on a lease extension? Thank you.
  • 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 Accord Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any advice would be much appreciated.

However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy eight years unexpired on the lease.

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Leatherhead for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 13k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
