I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in St Giles, where the lease is nearon 71 years but she was advised by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the seller was holding off for her to instruct lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

We are proceeding with a purchase of a 2 bed flat in St Giles. I was assured that the lease had been lengthened (fivety eight years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the homeowner wants to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is is it not odd that my solicitors failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?

I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in St Giles 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?
