  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Newcastle upon Tyne. The lease has just 65 years residual lease term and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting 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 is achievable but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? To add to the complexity the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • Just been over two years that I have owned my maisonette in Newcastle upon Tyne. I have 76 years outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancing practitioners 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 do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Newcastle upon Tyne. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1889. Its the rear garden.
  • I require an estimate to extend my mum’s lease on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Newcastle upon Tyne. She recently got a figure from the landlord for a lease extension but I am not sure it is too expensive.
