Me and my husband are acquiring a ground floor flat in Deal which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced 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 pre-completion 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 lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?

I am currently in the process of remortgaging my studio flat in Deal and the bank that I am looking to move to needs at least 80 years on the leasehold of my property in order for them to take the mortgage forward.

I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Deal as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
