  • We had entered into a purchase of a ground floor flat in Waltham Abbey. I was advised that the lease had been extended (71 years left prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the vendor wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • I own a purpose-built apartment located in a large development in Waltham Abbey.

Is it possible for me to call someone to go through my options please?
  • It says on your website the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost including vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my two bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Waltham Abbey
