  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my one bed flat in Potters Bar. I have fivety eight yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers 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 financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • We are in the throws of buying a home (a garden flat based inPotters Bar with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum 83 years balance left. We found a place we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancing practitioners told us the lease only has 71 years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we run 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 garden flat in Potters Bar 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 sixety years left.

Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
