  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a three bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Woodford, where the lease is around 73 years but she was told by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the current owner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I'm living with my mum and dad but have a studio flat in Woodford let out which has a fivety six year lease. Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Woodford for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 13k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • My wife and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Woodford which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. 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 must hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • I'm seeking some help concerning a lease extension on my flat. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move 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. Do I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
