  • We had entered into a purchase of a maisonette in Hale Barns. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (seventy three years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend as a result the vendor intends to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
  • I am looking for advice as I am interested in a property that has only a 55 year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Is it possible for me to call someone to go through my options please?
  • My property lawyers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • We are acquiring a maisonette in Hale Barns which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing 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 property 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 right that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?
