Questions and Answers: Upper Clapton Lease Extensions

I bought a one bedroom apartment in Upper Clapton that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease requiring a lease extension. How long will it take ?

We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years outstanding 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I am the freeholder of a property in Upper Clapton where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has recommended a much higher premium.
