  • I am concerned that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a studio flat in Yardley, where the lease is circa 57 years but she was told by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been advised the seller was waiting for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it may take months to sort it all out. What do you think?

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?
