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 seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years balance left so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
  • My brother and I had entered into a purchase of a one bedroom apartment in Street. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (73 years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the homeowner wants to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?

Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has put forward a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?
