Common questions relating to Repton Lease Extensions

  • I'm wanting to make an offer on a house in Repton but I'm a little worried 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 National Westminster Bank giving us the mortgage now?

  • Hi. I need someone to have a look at my lease extension ahead of it being signed just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a reissue with a few minor amendments.
  • I am about to view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy four years balance left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • My partner and I have a leasehold flat in Repton with 76 years to run. Last year we were quoted a deal to have a lease extension for another fifty years but also increase ground rent from notional to £250 per year..plus a premium I think of approximately 9k. Finally we have decided to go ahead but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • 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?
  • I am the freeholder of a Edwardian property split into two flats. I reside in the upper flat and my neighbour in the lower flat. My neighbour has approached me for a lease extension from the current 64 years. What are my next steps?
  • I am concerned about seeking a lease extension from a difficult freeholder. Regardless of the fact that the legal procedures were adhered to under the appropriate legislation, the freeholder still tried to get ground rent of £300 increasing by 100% every 25 years of the new term. Can you help?
