  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years left so a lease extension is not required. 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Me and my wife are are hoping to complete on a ground floor flat in Castle Eden which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor 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 pre-completion 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 correct that we have to wait until the new lease is registered?
