  • My husband and I are buying a maisonette in Ashton Under Lyne which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced extending the lease. The vendor 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 conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Ashton Under Lyne. 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?
