  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a worry. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

  • Me and my wife are are hoping to complete on a maisonette in Carshalton Beeches which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect 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 has not been issued. Is it correct that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
