  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Markyate 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 Accord Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?
  • I want to purchase a leasehold property and lease extension. The flat owner has been there for three years and will assign the notice. He will let me have the notice on exchange and then I will serve it in the landlord. Is this OK ?

  • I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Markyate, where the lease is about 58 years but she was told by the estate agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the owner was waiting for her to instruct solicitors prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Markyate. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety four years outstanding 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 the lease has not been extended. The seller apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the vendor 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 Santander won't lend on a lease?
  • I am the owner of a purpose-built flat located in a small development in Markyate.

Can I call someone to discuss my options please?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Markyate. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1854. Its the rear garden.
  • I'm hoping for some help with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette. The plan is to do this next summer as we must move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good lawyers with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally someone in Markyate area?
