  • I need to extend my existing lease can you assist? My investigation with the Land Registry reveal that it has 75 years remaining
  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years unexpired so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • My and my husband know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the freeholder was reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you suggest this course of action?
  • I have a lease of 72 years remaining on my flat in Wick. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
