  • My wife and I are considering buying a three bed flat in Whitwick which is a leasehold.

  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a ground floor flat in Whitwick. I was advised that the lease had been extended (seventy three 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 the lease has not been extended. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the flat owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
  • It says on your website the likely fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost including vat and the land registry fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my 2 bed flat in Whitwick
  • I'm intent on purchasing a flat in Whitwick at a price of £210,000 the flat has approaching 62 years left on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in September, hoping I'd be in before now. The owner has just informed me they'll reduce the price by£7k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • We are acquiring a one bedroom apartment in Whitwick which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • My wife and I are concerned about seeking a lease extension from tricky landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still tried to charge ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new lease. Can you help?
