  • We had entered into a purchase of a garden flat in Cwmbran. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety nine years unexpired lease prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The seller supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the homeowner intends to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?

  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost including vat and the land registry fee?

  • Me and my fiance are buying a two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Cwmbran which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor 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. An essential part of the house buying process is for our 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 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 must be patient pending registration of the new lease?
