  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years residual lease term so a lease extension is not required. 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any help would be much appreciated.
  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • I am about to view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 71 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in extending the lease. My primary concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?

  • My fiance and I have owned a leasehold flat for around fifteen years. It now has 61 years left on the lease.

  • We are acquiring a 2 bed flat in Tongwynlais which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to be patient pending registration of the new lease?

  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom apartment in Tongwynlais. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good property lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
