  • I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Temple Fortune, where the lease is just over 62 years but she was told by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been advised the owner was holding off for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
  • My wife and I have a first floor flat in Temple Fortune with 74 years remaining.

We have now decided to proceed but do we now have to renegotiate?
  • Offer accepted on a a two bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Temple Fortune, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease had over 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer sent through which states the lease as eighty years.Contracts were due to be exchanged in a couple of days. My query is why has this only just come to my attention by my lawyers?
  • Coming up to two years that I have owned my two bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Temple Fortune. I have 66 yrs left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 320K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Temple Fortune. I reside in the upper flat. I was looking at the title deeds today when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 57 years left. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the lawyers fees?
