  • I'm intending 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 Barclays Direct giving us the mortgage now?

  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a ground floor flat in Sandringham, where the lease is around 74 years but she was told by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the owner was waiting for her to appoint solicitors before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • My brother and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our studio flat in Sandringham. We have a 79 year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has given us with a financial figure that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a solicitors to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on our behalf.
  • My wife and I are purchasing a studio flat in Sandringham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I am worried about getting a lease extension from a difficult landlord. Even though the legal procedures were followed under the appropriate legislation, the freeholder still tried to get ground rent of £200 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new lease. Can you help?
