  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in Lindfield for asking price of 145k, which has 76 years lease left on it.

  • Coming up to 2 years that I have been in my one bedroom apartment in Lindfield. I have 59 yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors 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?

  • I'm looking at buying an apartment in Lindfield at a price of £210,000 the flat has something like 71 years left on the lease.

They have just come back saying they are willing to knock £4k off if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
