  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years remaining so a lease extension is not required. 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 feedback would be much appreciated.

She put in an offer on a ground floor flat in Pontypool, where the lease is about sixety eight years but she was informed by the selling agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the current owner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it may take time to sort it all out.

  • My conveyancers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
