  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Washington but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. 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 Bank of Ireland giving us the mortgage now?
  • I own a maisonnette and the freehold. My upstairs neighbours have asked to extend the lease what do I need to do?
  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Washington. The lease has just 78 years residual lease term and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time consuming to the owner? To add to the complexity the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
