She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Whiston, where the lease is about 67 years but she was told by the estate agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been advised the homeowner was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it will take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?

  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my ground floor flat in Whiston. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then.

Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions?
