  • My husband and I had entered into buying a ground floor flat in Walsingham. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (63 years left prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the seller intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Chelsea Building Society won't lend on a lease?

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Walsingham for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 13k. Should I keep or sell the flat?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Walsingham as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
