She submitted an offer on a two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Shepherd's Bush, where the lease is around seventy years but she was advised by the estate agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the current owner was holding off for her to retain lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • My fiance and I are proceeding with a purchase of a studio flat in Shepherd's Bush. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety four years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The homeowner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the homeowner wants to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Platform Home Loans Ltd won't lend on a lease?
