  • My partner and I are in the throws of buying a property (a ground floor flat located inStrawberry Hill with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum 83 years residual lease term. We came across a flat we liked and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our property lawyers advised us the lease only has sixety one years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we walk away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Strawberry Hill 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?
