Frequently asked questions relating to South East London Lease Extensions

  • Hello. I need someone to have a look at my lease extension prior to it being signed just to ensure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few small variations.
  • I'm planning on buying a ground floor flat (leasehold) but the freeholder has been missing for around 15yrs. I wonder whether it will be cheaper to try to purchase the freehold or to get a lease extension and apply for RTM?
  • I am looking to either purchase the freehold or a lease extension of my property in South East London and have been in touch with the freeholder, have had quote for around £4k to extend the lease. I plan to simultaneously get a new mortgage with Santander to free up equity. My broker dealing with the remortgage suggested I get two quotes : one to extend the lease and one for outright acquisition .The lease began in 1979 and since then the ground rent has been raised from £25.00 per annum to £300 per annum.
  • I am about to view a one bedroom apartment, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety seven years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the bank will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
