  • My wife and I are acquiring a maisonette in Darton which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 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 property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • My wife and I are aware that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
