  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Millbank 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 Coventry Building Society giving us the mortgage now?

  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Millbank. The lease has just seventy five years remaining and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • We are hoping to buy a flat (a garden flat inMillbank with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least eighty five years left. We identified a flat we liked and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our lawyers informed us the lease only has 59 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • We currently own a studio flat in Millbank and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 61 years left.

Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
