Recently asked questions relating to Whickham Lease Extensions

  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Whickham 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 Barclays giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years remaining so a lease extension is not a concern.

We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
