  • Coming up to 2 years that I have been in my studio flat in Upper Walthamstow. I have sixety five yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now looking either to buy a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers 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?

Can you help?
  • We know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable.
