  • I have an interest in the freehold of buildings comprising of seven flats each. Two of the leasehold owners want a lease extension and I'm wondering about the procedure for this
  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Northop 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 Lloyds TSB Bank giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years outstanding so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
