  • I'm intending to make an offer on a house in Woodcote but I'm a little worried 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 Accord Mortgages Ltd giving us the mortgage now?

  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Woodcote. The lease has just 63 years remaining and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the homeowner? Unfortunately the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • My husband and I have a leasehold flat in Woodcote with 67 years left. Ten months ago we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for a further 25 years but also uplift the ground rent from notional to a little more..plus a premium I think of about 10k. We have now decided to go ahead but do we now have to start the negotiations again?
  • My brother and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our 2 bed flat in Woodcote. We have a 74 year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has given us with a premium amount that she is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on our behalf.
  • I have a lease of 71 years remaining on my flat in Woodcote. 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?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Woodcote. 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?
