We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Nottingham Building Society giving us the mortgage now?

  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Wadebridge, where the lease is around 76 years but she was told by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the seller was waiting for her to instruct conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it may take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
