However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has fivety eight years balance left on the lease.

  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?

  • My wife and I are purchasing a studio flat in Kingsland which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner 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. An essential part of the house buying process is for our property lawyers to do a "priority search" on the property title. 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 must wait pending registration of the new lease?

You are able to recommend a good conveyancing practitioners with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally someone in Kingsland area?
