  • Me and my partner are proceeding with a purchase of a garden flat in Sefton. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (fivety seven years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the flat owner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • My father has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Sefton. House divided into three apartments. He has a lease, which has nearly seventy one yrs outstanding.

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Sefton 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?
