Common questions relating to Sittingbourne Lease Extensions

  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years balance left so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Sittingbourne 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?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bed flat in Sittingbourne. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
