  • We are acquiring a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Halkyn which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor 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 property lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners 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 have to hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • We are hoping to buy a property (a studio flat located inHalkyn with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum eighty five years unexpired. We identified a apartment we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our lawyers advised us the lease only has 68 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
