  • Me and my husband are purchasing a garden flat in Hanwell which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer 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 conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the lease. 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 lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I am worried about getting a lease extension from tricky landlord. Even though the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to charge ground rent of £200 increasing by 100% every twenty years of the new term. Can you help?
