Is it possible for me to call someone to go through my options please?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to buy in Highcliffe. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
  • Me and my partner are purchasing a maisonette in Highcliffe which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do a pre-completion search on the property title. 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 right that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
