Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for a further 25 years but also increase ground rent from nominal to £300 per annum..plus a premium I think of approximately 14k.

  • My wife and I are hoping to purchase a flat (a garden flat inSt James's with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum eighty five years unexpired. We came across a apartment we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our conveyancers told us the lease only has 76 years and therefore requires a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in St James's with 82yrs remaining)
