  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Southbourne 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 Britannia giving us the mortgage now?

  • I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat located in Southbourne with a leasehold unexpired of 63 years. I am wondering about how much I will need to spend to extend my leasehold
  • I am about to view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my dream 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 71 years left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I am concerned that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Southbourne, where the lease is around 72 years but she was advised by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the flat owner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Sounds devious, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
