  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years left so a lease extension is not required.

We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Rogerstone. The lease has only 74 years residual lease term and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time consuming to the owner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • 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 planning on remortgaging my one bedroom apartment in Rogerstone and the bank that I am looking to move to requires a minimum 85 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to progress matters.

  • We currently own a one bedroom apartment in Rogerstone 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 65 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Rogerstone as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
