Linton Lease Extensions

Linton Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

I purchased a flat in Linton with a leasehold unexpired roughly 66 years and need a lease extension. Please can you advise me of the next stages

I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of 8 flats each. 2 of the leaseholders want to extend their leases and I'm enquiring about the the process

I'm about to make an offer on a house in Linton 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 Godiva Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?

We bought a leasehold with a landlord who has failed to respond by way of a counter-notice for a lease extension for our flat in Linton and are therefore thinking about the option of a vesting order. Is this something you can do for us?

I'm looking for an apartment to buy in Linton and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold arrangement. I've identified a ground floor flat I like with a 87 years lease. My research reveals that I can go for a lease extension having owned the property for a couple of years, but:- Should I be looking for some caveats that would prevent me for getting a lease extension?

We are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Linton. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety eight years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The current owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the owner wants to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?

I am looking for advice as I am interested in a property that has only a 56 year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Is it possible for me to talk with someone to discuss my options please?

My OH and I have owned a leasehold flat for approximately eighteen years. There are 63 years outstanding on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome some independent thoughts.

I am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two apartments. I live in the top floor flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current sixety nine years. What are my next steps?

Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a one bedroom apartment in Linton. She recently got a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am not sure it is reasonable.
