  • Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my studio flat in Gerrards Cross. I have seventy three years outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease.

  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • We are purchasing a three bed flat in Gerrards Cross which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers 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 wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
