  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Manor House 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 Godiva Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?
  • My wife and I have a leasehold flat in Manor House with 61 years to run. Last year we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for a further 25 years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to £300 per annum..plus a premium I think of approximately 14k. Finally we have decided to move forward but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • We wish to extend our lease. We will have been in the apartment for two years as of 21st April 2016. It has nearon 65 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension with a further 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.

  • Hopefully an easy question for you, how much is the premium payable for a lease extension on a residential property in Manor House for a one bed flat - sec 42 having been issued?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Manor House as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Manor House with 82yrs remaining)
