  • 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 residual lease term so a lease extension is not a concern. 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Ravenglass. I have fivety four yrs left on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 445k. 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: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process goes to LVT)?
  • If somebody owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not doing it?
  • Me and my sister are acquiring a three bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Ravenglass which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
