  • My wife and I are acquiring a maisonette in Bolton which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. 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 right that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Bolton 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?
