  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a maisonette in Ettington, where the lease is approximately 73 years but she was told by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been told the flat owner was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it may take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • Me and my OH are buying a garden flat in Ettington which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem 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 has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
