  • I purchased a flat in Winchelsea with a leasehold unexpired nearly 75 years and need a lease extension. Please can you advise me of the next stages
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Winchelsea 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 Leeds Building Society giving us the mortgage now?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years remaining 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
  • My husband and I have a ground floor flat in Winchelsea with sixety eight years to run. Last year we were quoted a deal to receive a lease extension for a further fifty years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to a little more..plus a premium I think of approximately 14k. Finally we have decided to proceed but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • My husband and I are considering buying a garden flat in Winchelsea which is a leasehold. I am wanting to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of that - what happens when lease ends, how much it costs to extend it, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and prevent me from having a lease extension?
  • I am looking to extend the lease on my garden flat in Winchelsea I am looking for help to verify the premium. I have a quote from the freeholder. I would like to go forward as soon as possible, but for the right premium and fee.
  • I'm intent on purchasing a flat in Winchelsea valued at £210,000 the flat has just under seventy eight years remaining on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon a lease extension... .. that was back in November, hoping I'd have moved in before now. The owner has just come back saying they are willing to knock £5k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
  • I am the registered freeholder to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Winchelsea. I reside in the upper flat. I was looking at the land registry documents yesterday when I noticed that my flat has a lease on it. There is 77 years unexpired. If I want to do a lease extension then would I just be paying for the solicitors charges?
  • My sister knows that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend this course of action?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Winchelsea. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
