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 National Westminster Bank giving us the mortgage now?

However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety seven years balance left on the lease.

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Splott for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 19k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the garden flat in Splott. I reside in the top flat.

If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the property lawyers costs?
  • My and my partner know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
