  • I'm looking for an apartment to buy in St Leonard Shoreditch and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold title. I've found a garden flat I like with a 90 years lease. I've read that I can apply for a lease extension having owned the property for a couple of years, but:- Should I be looking at some caveats that would prevent me for getting a lease extension?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in St Leonard Shoreditch. The lease has only fivety seven years remaining and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the current owner? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am concerned that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a garden flat in St Leonard Shoreditch, where the lease is nearon fivety seven years but she was advised by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the owner was waiting for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it could take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

  • I intend to buy a one bed flat in St Leonard Shoreditch for asking price of 125k, which has 57 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist.
