  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Sandringham but I'm concerned 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 Lloyds TSB Bank giving us the mortgage now?

  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Sandringham. The lease has only 76 years outstanding and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the two 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 may be possible but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Sandringham, where the lease is around 57 years but she was advised by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the current owner was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers before commencing with the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in Sandringham. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1895. Its the rear garden.
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of less than 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 extending the lease?
