Can I Extend a Lease if there is a Mortgage on the Property?

It is possible to extend the lease on a property even if there is an existing mortgage. However, this process requires additional steps and coordination to ensure that both the lease extension and the mortgage are handled correctly.

When extending a lease on a property with a mortgage, the main challenge is that the existing mortgage is tied to the current lease term and title. Extending the lease effectively creates a new lease agreement, which requires the mortgage to be transferred to the new title.

If you need to register a lease extension on a property with a mortgage, our team of Lease Extension Solicitors can assist you. We will ensure that your lease extension and mortgage editing are transferred properly and that everything is legally compliant.

How long does it take to Register a Lease Extension?

The entire process of registering a lease extension can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. This duration is due to the multi-stage process involving several third parties, which can impact the timeline. While the actual legal work may only require a few hours, the overall process can extend over several months due to these dependencies.

The timing of HM Land Registry’s processing of the registration can vary. While some applications are processed quickly, most may take up to six months or longer. Once submitted, HM Land Registry processes applications in the order received to maintain the priority of your application.

Money Matters

This service is for taking instructions, producing the appropriate for of deed, seeing to its execution, and deploying it at HM Land Registry. The price depends on whether the property is mortgaged or not, since any mortgages will need to be transferred to the new title which is a cumbersome process.

You will also have to pay and HM Land Registry fee arising.
