  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my studio flat in Babbacombe. I have 59 years remaining on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my property lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of legal charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to LVT)?

  • My partner and I are purchasing a garden flat in Babbacombe which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners 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 have to hold on until the new lease is registered?

Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
