  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Trafford. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The homeowner’s solicitors has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender The Mortgage Works. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • I will soon view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 69 years unexpired on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the bank will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?
  • I have a share of the freehold. There are four flats in the block. All the leaseholders are now looking for lease extensions. What are the timescales to grant a lease extension?
  • Me and my fiance are considering purchasing a three bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Trafford which is a leasehold.

  • Me and my partner have owned a leasehold flat for approximately twenty years. It now has 60 years left on the lease. Following a year of difficult negotiations through my solicitors and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the landlord. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome advice.
  • My wife and I are are hoping to complete on a studio flat in Trafford 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 house buying process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must hold on until the new lease is registered?
