  • We are buying a 2 bed flat in Abingdon which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a pre-completion 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 correct that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • Me and my fiance are hoping to acquire a property (a studio flat inAbingdon with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 83 years left. We found a place we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our told us the lease only has sixety eight years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Abingdon as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
