I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist.

  • My wife and I are acquiring a one bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Castleton and Blacktown which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced extending the lease. The seller 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 property lawyers to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern 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 lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must be patient pending registration of the new lease?
  • Me and my partner are in the throws of buying a home (a studio flat inCastleton and Blacktown with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum 84 years remaining. We came across a place we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our property lawyers advised us the lease only has seventy nine years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I'm hoping for some assistance with regard to a lease extension on my flat. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we have to move 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 LVT 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?
