  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in North Sheen but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease?

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 Norwich and Peterborough Building Society giving us the mortgage now?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in North Sheen 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?
