  • We are buying a three bed flat in Ironbridge 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 lawyers to do a "priority 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 correct that we have to wait until the new lease is registered?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Ironbridge and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has put forward a much higher premium. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?
  • I have seventy three years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Ironbridge, the Landlord requires a £18k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is reasonable
