  • My OH and I are acquiring a maisonette in Crabtree which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. 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 concern 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 be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend this course of action?
